Did Elon Musk Just Blackmail Tesla Investors?

If you invest in a company because you believe in the founder, are you investing in a company or are you investing in the person? Take it a step further. Imagine that founder comes back and says they have another business idea and want more money or else they'll develop the new business on the side. Is that blackmail or is it a fair ask? That's the current situation with Tesla and Elon Musk. Elon is asking for a new compensation package, otherwise he's going to develop some of his other business ideas, like AI, outside the ecosystem of Tesla. On this week's episode, Tom and Dylan discuss whether Elon is setting a dangerous precedent or if he's entitled to ask for greater compensation.
