New Delhi: Billionaire Elon Musk has secured a significant win in court, with the Delaware Supreme Court overturning a 2024 ruling that had denied him a $55 billion pay package granted by Tesla in 2018. The package was designed as a performance-based incentive for Musk’s role in taking Tesla to new heights.

In 2024, a lower Delaware court had sided with the shareholders and nullified the package, denying Musk the payout—which today would be valued at $139 billion. In its 49-page decision, the Delaware Supreme Court cited multiple errors in the 2024 ruling and reinstated Musk’s 2018 package. The package was originally tied to Tesla’s ...

According to Kiyosaki, recent interest rate cuts and indications of quantitative easing (QE) by the U.S. Federal Reserve signal large-scale money printing, which could trigger hyperinflation.

In a recent landmark ruling in Rajasthan, the courts sided with leasehold property buyers when the government attempted to increase lease rent three years after allocation.
