Elon Musk, la magie et l’indécence
Nov. 8, 2025

  • The potential compensation of one trillion dollars approved by Tesla's shareholders for Elon Musk changes the landscape of American capitalism.
  • There are opposite reactions to this remuneration, from indignation to pragmatic justification.
  • Billionaires in America do not usually disrupt the social order to the extent they would in Europe or in France.
  • Shareholders have made concessions that may seem futile, fearing that Musk will abandon Tesla.
  • The goal of this remuneration is simple: to position Elon Musk as a superman in the world of business.

Conclusion: This situation reflects a growing brazenness in the U.S. technology sector, similar to Donald Trump's behavior in politics. A rising hubris and indecency that it is time to address.
