Watch: Musk's “Billion Dollar Dance” As Tesla Shareholders Restore Billion Pay Package

Watch: Musk's “Billion Dollar Dance” As Tesla Shareholders Restore $56 Billion Pay Package

by | Jun 15, 2024 | top-stories


Elon Musk dancing following the announcement of the pay package.

Tesla shareholders this week voted in favor of a huge compensation package for CEO Elon Musk indicating that the billionaire will continue to lead the electric vehicle-maker. 

Based on preliminary vote results, investors backed a plan of up to $56 billion for Musk, corporate secretary Brandon Ehrhart said at Tesla’s annual meeting in Austin, Texas on Thursday. The proposal was passed despite opposition from some large institutional investors and proxy firms.

A judge had nullified the package earlier this year, but the latest vote by Tesla’s shareholders overturned that decision.

In a video posted on Musk-owned X, the 52-year-old billionaire was seen dancing following the announcement of the pay package.

The short clip shows him entering a stage, visibly excited, pumping his fists in the air and performing a few jumps and a dance while the crowd cheered and chanted his name. 

“Elon Musk dance is [fire]. Tesla shareholders have spoken,” the user who shared the video on X wrote.

A user commented on the post, “God bless him! He is such a good human! He deserved his money, he earned it!!!”

There were a few comments that connected Tesla’s new move with Twitter. 

“Elon’s got the moves like Jagger. Tesla shareholders know he’s the real deal,” read a comment. 

Many social media users called it the “billion-dollar dance.”

The compensation plan, originally approved by Tesla’s board and shareholders six years ago, aims to reward Elon Musk based on the company’s performance metrics. 

The board of the world’s largest electric vehicle maker had argued at the time that his leadership was necessary in achieving ambitious targets and that the package would maintain his dedication to Tesla.

Shareholders also approved Tesla’s relocation from Delaware to Texas, aligning with the company’s operational base. 

Despite the favourable shareholder vote, the legal battle over Elon Musk’s compensation is far from over. The package is still tied up in the Delaware Chancery Court and Supreme Court as Tesla seeks to overturn the initial rejection.

Legal experts believe the outcome will hinge on whether Tesla adequately informed shareholders about the details of the package.

Cricketer-Turned-MP Yusuf Pathan Gets Notice For Encroachment In Gujarat

Cricketer-Turned-MP Yusuf Pathan Gets Notice For Encroachment In Gujarat

by | Jun 13, 2024 | top-stories


The proposal to sell a plot to Mr Pathan was rejected by the Gujarat government.

Vadodara:

The BJP-ruled Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) in Gujarat has issued a notice to former India cricketer and recently elected Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha MP from Baharampur Yusuf Pathan for allegedly encroaching on a plot of land the civic body said belongs to it.

While the notice was served to Mr Pathan on June 6, VMC’s standing committee chairman Shital Mistry informed the media on Thursday after the issue was highlighted by former BJP corporator Vijay Pawar.

Talking to reporters earlier in the day, Mr Pawar had alleged that though the state government had rejected VMC’s proposal to sell the plot to Mr Pathan in 2012, the newly elected MP had encroached on the plot by constructing a compound wall.

“I don’t have any grudge against Yusuf Pathan. A plot in Tanadalja area under TP 22 is a residential plot owned by VMC. In 2012, Mr Pathan had demanded this plot from VMC because his house, which was under construction at that time, was adjacent to that plot. He had offered nearly Rs 57,000 per square meter,” Mr Pawar told reporters.

The proposal was cleared by the VMC at that time and it was passed in the general board meeting. However, the state government, which is the final authority in such matters, did not give its approval, he said.

“Though the proposal was rejected, the VMC did not put up a fence around the plot. Then I came to know that Mr Pathan has encroached upon the plot by constructing a compound wall around it. Thus, I have asked the municipal corporation to conduct an inquiry,” said Mr Pawar.

Mr Mistry confirmed the sequence of events leading to the state government not approving the sale of the 978 square metre plot to Mr Pathan and said a notice had been served to him for alleged encroachment.

“Recently, we received some representations about him constructing a compound wall. Thus, on June 6, we served a notice to Mr Pathan and asked him to remove all the encroachments. We will wait for a couple of weeks and then we will decide further course of action. This land belongs to VMC and we will claim it back,” Mr Mistry asserted.

“Slept Late, Woke Up To Gunshots”: Salman Khan To Cops On Firing

“Slept Late, Woke Up To Gunshots”: Salman Khan To Cops On Firing

by | Jun 13, 2024 | top-stories


Salman Khan House Firing Case: The actor’s statement was recorded by Mumbai police. (File)

Actor Salman Khan has revealed that he woke up to the sound of gunshots on April 14 when two bikers fired shots at his home in Mumbai’s Bandra. Police claim the shooters, hired by Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, had conspired to kill the 58-year-old film star.

A four-member team, including an officer of the Mumbai Crime Branch, visited Salman Khan’s house on June 4 to record his statement and that of his brother Arbaaz Khan. The brothers were questioned for six hours. Salman Khan reportedly told the police that he realised his life was in danger and thanked them for their help.

In his statement, Salman Khan told the police that he had slept late after a party the night before the incident. The sound of a bullet that was later found to have hit his balcony woke him, he told the police. The actor said after he was jolted awake he went to the balcony to check and looked outside but did not see anyone.

Arbaaz Khan, who was at his Juhu residence at the time of the firing, said he was aware of the past threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to his brother.

Salman Khan’s statement was recorded for three hours while his brother was questioned for two hours. The brothers were asked over 150 questions, the police said.

Their father Salim Khan was also at the Bandra apartment when the firing took place but his statement was not recorded due to his age. According to sources, the crime branch will record his statement if required.

Six men have been arrested after two men on a bike opened fire outside Salman Khan’s home on April 14. Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal were arrested in Gujarat, while Anuj Thapan and another man were detained in Punjab on April 26. Anuj Thapan died in police custody.

According to the police, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had allegedly conspired to strike Salman Khan’s car in Maharashtra’s Panvel – where he has a farmhouse – armed with weapons sourced from a Pakistani arms supplier. Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, along with his Canada-based cousin Anmol Bishnoi and associate Goldie Brar, had reportedly acquired AK-47s, M-16s, and other high-calibre weapons from a Pakistani arms dealer. The plan was to either ambush the star’s car or attack his farmhouse, sources said.

Unbelievable That Police In 2 States Can't Trace A Woman: High Court

Unbelievable That Police In 2 States Can't Trace A Woman: High Court

by | Jun 11, 2024 | top-stories


The woman’s husband said she was detained by her father as he disapproved of their inter-caste marriage.

Mumbai:

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday pulled up the Maharashtra police for its “superficial” probe in tracing a woman who went missing after she went to Rajasthan three months ago, leaving her baby behind.

A division bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande directed the superintendent of police, Kolhapur, to coordinate with his counterpart in Jalod, Rajasthan and ensure that the woman is traced and produced in court on June 20.

The bench remarked that it was “unbelievable that police machinery of two states, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, were unable to trace a woman”.

The bench was hearing a habeas corpus (produce person in court) petition filed by the woman’s husband from Kolhapur.

The man claimed that his wife was detained by her father as he disapproved of their inter-caste marriage.

As per the plea, the couple tied the knot in February 2022 and had a baby boy in November 2023.

In February this year, the woman was informed by a family member that her father was unwell and wished to see her.

The woman went to Rajasthan to meet her father, leaving her infant son with her husband. However, when she did not return, and when he could not contact her, the man filed a police complaint and then a plea in court.

Last month, the high court had directed the Kolhapur police to visit Rajasthan to track her whereabouts.

On Tuesday, the police’s advocate informed the court that the police visited the woman’s residence in Rajasthan but did not find her.

The police recorded the statement of the woman’s grandparents, who were in the house, and the neighbours.

The bench, however, said just recording the grandparents’ statements was not enough.

“The police have to be told how to inquire? Grandfather said she’s not there, so you came back?” the court said.

The bench said the police should be considerate of the infant, who was without his mother for three months.

“It is difficult to believe that the police of two states have been unable to find the girl. It’s unbelievable. Your (police) methodology is simple. You go and ask the grandparents. Is this the way? Since when the police have become polite?” the bench asked.

“After the court order, the phones (of the woman and her parents) are switched off. You don’t know how to trace that? I thought the Maharashtra police was the best. Have mercy on the three-month-old child without a mother,” the court said.
