Tesla CEO Elon Musk wins appeal for his 2018 pay package

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has won an appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court, restoring his 2018 pay package, which was worth $56 billion at the time but has since ballooned in value, Reuters reports.

Two years ago, a lower court had struck down the compensation deal, calling it “unfathomable,” and Musk has been fighting for it since then.

Of course, Musk was recently awarded an even bigger pay package that could potentially award him $1 trillion over time. Tesla shares were recently up 0.5% in after-hours trading.

Analyst: Investors should brace for Europe’s breakup with US Big Tech

The signs are there: the French government has restricted the use of Zoom for its employees. In Germany, the state of Schleswig-Holstein is ending the use of Microsoft Teams among its workers.

As US-EU tensions rise, Europe is looking to secure its own “digital sovereignty,” reduce its dependence on US-owned technology platforms, and grow its domestic tech industry. It now seems the European breakup with Big Tech is underway.

Tuttle Capital Management CEO Matthew Tuttle thinks that most investors aren’t paying enough attention to this growing problem for the American tech sector’s stocks.

In a note to investors, Tuttle wrote:

“The world is building optionality away from U.S. policy and platform dependence. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it — because it’s showing up in procurement decisions, supply chains, defense budgets, and capital flows.”

Europe wants to break up with US tech. Here’s how it plans on doing that.

Waymo is seeking to raise $16 billion in a funding round that would value the autonomous car company at nearly $110 billion, Bloomberg reports. That’s higher than earlier Bloomberg estimates for the round and more than double Waymo’s 2024 valuation.

Parent company Google is leading the financing, expected to close in February, by making a $13 billion commitment that would account for a huge chunk of the round.

China outlaws door handles Tesla is famous for

A new Chinese safety rule will require every vehicle sold in the country to have mechanically operable external and internal door handles that work even without power by 2027. The move would effectively ban the flush, motor-activated door handles Tesla is famous for, and that other EV makers like Xiaomi, Lucid, and Rivian have also adopted. Tesla is already facing scrutiny over its door designs in the US, where regulators have investigated crashes in which passengers struggled to exit vehicles after power failures.
