Musk’s $1T pay package is full of watered-down versions of his own broken promises

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-11-19 18:02:36

Tesla has proposed a massive new $1 trillion compensation package for its CEO Elon Musk, and many of the benchmarks he needs to hit are simply watered-down versions of promises he’s spent years making about the company. That’s not the picture Tesla’s board of directors paints in the company’s annual proxy statement, where they revealed the proposed pay package. Instead, the board focuses on how it plans to create “the most valuable company in history.” To be sure, if Tesla accomplishes all tha

Galaxy S25 vs Galaxy S25 FE: 4 reasons why the cheaper one isn’t worth it

With every passing year, the Galaxy S25 FE has been inching closer to the main high-end lineup, both in features and price. They share the same software with One UI 8, boast top-notch build quality, have great displays, top-tier IP ratings, and whatnot. But what started as a solid mid-tier phone that felt like a flagship without the flagship money is now becoming a less enticing deal. With the gap bridging, there are more reasons to spend that extra cash on the standard Galaxy S25 to get a bett

Almost 500 people were detained Thursday in an immigration raid at a new Hyundai manufacturing complex in Georgia. The massive raid highlights growing tensions between President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies, his tariff-fueled trade negotiations, and his promise to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. “This was the largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of Homeland Security Investigations,” said Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of the agency’s Atlanta

Should a Plug-In Hybrid Be Your Next Car? Here's How to Decide

"A plug-in hybrid is the gateway drug for EVs," says Amelia Dalgaard, an automotive expert known online as the Motorhead Mama. That's because plug-in hybrids address the range anxiety that stops some car buyers from going full-EV at first. Despite the growing popularity of traditional electric vehicles, not everyone is ready for a fully-electric car. And luckily, there's another option that's a good first step for many drivers: plug-in hybrids. Plug-in hybrids let you drive on battery power f

With just a few prompts or API calls, it is now possible to generate entire products, features, infrastructure, and functionality in hours rather than weeks. And yet, despite all this acceleration, delivery outcomes remain stubbornly poor. Too many initiatives underdeliver, budgets continue to overrun, and users are left underserved. If cheaper
