The core case was that Elon was too greedy and wanted too much in compensation for the work he has been doing at Tesla as a CEO.
If you think the core case was that Musk was "too greedy", I would question your sources of info on this topic. The issue at hand was whether or not the renumeration package was commensurate and whether or not the board making the decision was compromised by their closeness to Musk.
You bring up a good point and I understand it. However, this post wasn't intended to be a legal article of analysis of the case. This was just meant to be a satire.
That said, what I said was just oversimplification of what you have clarified.
