As I sit here and reflect on the absurdity of the situation surrounding the lawyers who voided Elon Musk’s pay as excessive, only to turn around and demand a staggering $6 billion fee, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. As a lawyer myself, it’s disheartening to see how the legal profession is portrayed in cases like these.

She attended a bottom-tier law school and has no experience with complex cases or the federal courts.… Continue reading
