The Kettle Calling the Pan Burnt

The audacity of these hypocritical lawyers knows no bounds. After successfully arguing that Elon Musk’s colossal pay package was illegal, they have the gall to turn around and demand $5.6 billion in Tesla stock as their legal fees.

These vultures, masquerading as advocates for Tesla shareholders, are shamelessly attempting to gorge themselves on the company they claimed to be defending. They have the nerve to justify their obscene demand by citing their supposed contingency work over five years while omitting they stood to gain nothing if they lost and their “prepared to eat our cooking” bravado, a display of self-righteousness.

Let’s not forget the magnitude of their greed. The requested award represents 11 percent of Tesla’s stock, dwarfing previous legal fee records while pointing to the supposed benefit Tesla received from their counsel and conveniently ignoring that they’re trying to bleed Musk dry.

And the hypocrisy doesn’t end there. Not content with an astronomical stock demand, the shysters have the nerve to claim that it won’t impact Tesla’s balance sheet and even dare to argue that it is tax deductible. And as if they weren’t already grasping for every penny within reach, they also seek an additional $1.1 million in expenses.

Let’s call a spade a spade: these lawyers are opportunistic leeches. They cunningly exploited Musk’s supposed misconduct to line their pockets, all while pretending to serve the interests of Tesla’s shareholders.

Judge Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick may have ruled in their favor, but her hypocrisy surrounding their actions is an unmistakable stench.
