1. If it wasn't a single judge (Kathaleen McCormick) that ruled on this case, please let me know which other judges contributed to the ruling

2. How much compensation did Elon Musk receive from Tesla during the ten-year period in question, if not zero?

3. Which information were the voters missing? Bear in mind that after the very high profile court case where McCormick claimed the board was corrupt, shareholders were able to consider her opinion, and they still rejected it, and voted for the pay deal again.

4. Musk was previously a Democrat voter, but I would suggest that in supporting small-state libertarian values (and, in fact, heading up the effort to shrink the state), supporting rightwing parties in Europe, and supporting Trump, he is probably a conservative in all the ways that matter.

5. It's not irrelevant that the activist judge was Democrat-appointed, unless you believe the false premise that as soon as someone becomes a judge, all their human nature and political loyalties are immediately and permanently supressed.

6. Musk's political worldview is very relevant here. As Biden showed throughout his term in office, he wanted to see a heavily partisan, heavily Republican Elon Musk disempowered and excluded. Biden made no secret of this, excluding Musk from offical events around electrification of transport (where Musk is the world industry leader), and those instances where Biden made the false claim that legacy automakers like GM were "leading" auto electrification. Biden made repeated threats to use government agencies to investigate Musk (i.e. lawfare) for spurious reasons. Other establishment Democrats undoubtedly felt the same way - they feared Musk and wanted him disempowered.
