    “Bought them out” is a weak word too though. He placed loyal people on the board and had them vote to give him control of the company.

    And now he has been having them vote to give him absurd unseen before “salaries”

      He could place loyalists on the board because he bought a controlling interest in the company.

      And now he has been having them vote to give him absurd unseen before “salaries”

      The latest compensation package has virtually unattainable sales targets. And the compensation is almost entirely in equity that assumes a monumental increase in stock valuation.

      If he can manage it, I’d be tempted to say he earned it, except I know he’ll only “hit” the target by lying and market manipulation that will collapse as soon as he hits his mark.

        Like having space x buy thousands of cyber cucks?

        Or donating those shitty dangerous trucks to the Vegas police?

        Or when his Canadian dealerships sold themselves hundreds of cars on the last week of government subsidies?

        He’s gonna cheat to get his trillion, brag about having the biggest number, and try and fuck the country even more to keep him powerful. These robber barons need to be stopped and imprisoned bodies they can harm the rest of us any more.
