Again, not the point. $50k would change my life. For Musk, this money is about increasing his tally on the scoreboard. It's basically meaningless to him, despite it being an absolutely astounding sum. $50B could be used to invest in research, manufacturing upgrades, etc, for the company. Shareholders voting against their own best interest to help out the billionaire who has, at this point, abandoned the company, is just sociologically fascinating to me.
