Apart from outrageous greed on all sides, there are a couple of things that concern me about both the initial case and the aftermath.
For the initial case, Judge McCormick appears to be highly politicised, and it's a concern that she is allowed to preside over two high-profile anti-Musk cases in rapid succession. I also feel there should be some investigation into whether there was any kind of conspiracy between the lawyers and Richard Tornetta (the initial plaintiff, who only actually held a grand total of 9 Tesla shares - was he a setup ?)
It seems wrong that these lawyers want to be rewarded (with such an outrageous amount) before Musk has had the chance to appeal, and also that if the case is upheld it appears to be illegal for Musk to receive any retroactive remuneration package to replace the cancelled one. Sure, he's got plenty of money already, but it still feels wrong that he's penalised by effectively being unpaid for 5 years work !
All of this convinces me that the US justice system is broken in so many ways.
Thanks you for adding this useful information. Everything sounds crazy about this case.
