Should've let him keep the options we granted him back in 2018. Taking away his performance-based compensation is total bullshit. I voted to give it back. His options were worthless for most of that time. He got the stock to appreciate a lot and some guy with 6 shares sued him for this crap so that the lawyers and him could split $5 b that a judge granted them.

If anyone took away a software engineers options here after a company became successful because the company later decided it's too much there'd be hell to pay. Everyone rightfully complained about Zynga doing this.

But here it's fine? Bullshit. I voted to pay the man his due. I voted to move the corp out of Delaware to Texas. He made me money under reasonable terms. Back then everyone said he'd just fail.
