Elon's $56 Billion Payday Quashed

   A Delaware judge has nullified a $56 billion pay package from Tesla for Elon Musk.

   Labelling the sum "unfathomable," the court ruled that the compensation deal wasn't fair to Tesla shareholders.

   Furthermore, the judge declared that directors on Tesla's board lacked independence, raising questions about their ability to negotiate such an agreement.

   Following the ruling, which Musk can appeal, Tesla's shares fell. This arrived amidst signals of slowing growth in the EV sector.

   The biggest 10 stocks, including the Magnificent Seven (Google, Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Tesla), now dominate 29.3% of the MSCI USA Index. This concentration mirrors the peak levels of the year 2000.

   Meanwhile, Nassim Nicholas Taleb (author of "The Black Swan") is pointing to the ballooning US deficit as a catastrophic sign.

   Taleb argues that political gridlock and the habit of raising the debt ceiling are sending the country into a 'death spiral' of debt.
