It isn't salary. It's an options package, where Tesla issue 400+ million new shares and sell them to Musk at a small fraction of the current price.
It's conditional on his achieving certain "optimistic" targets. (Their 2024 EBITDA was US$12.4 billion.)

I love the way that 3% of the population of Iowa, which is smack-dab in the middle of the area defined by the US Census Bureau as being the Midwest, think "nope, not in the Midwest".

![On Twitter, Margaret Atwood posts a Mike Luckovich cartoon showing women wearing Handmaid uniforms. They enter a voting booth and emerge wearing ordinary clothes, with the Handmaid uniforms discarded to one side.

Hi-Rez audio is a con job.
You don't need 144 dB of dynamic range (24-bit resolution) or a maximum frequency of 48 kHz (96 kHz sample rate). (Unless you're a bat.)
This is the trace of a track from a Hi-Rez album I bought from Bandcamp. It has been upsampled from a CD.
