Yeah, despite the rumblings from other reporters this still feels like another bit of Axios wishcasting. What's for certain is that any Democrat who votes to cave now and betray the base in exchange for nothing at all will live to regret it.

REMINDER: If billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos paid their fair share, we could afford to EXPAND benefits and strengthen Social Security’s customer service! Instead, Republicans are cutting Social Security and giving tax cuts to billionaires.

A $29 billion compensation package for any CEO is obscene. Tesla's captive Board is once again enriching Elon Musk at investors’ expense. This is yet another glaring reminder that the company lacks reliable, independent oversight and effective corporate governance.
