Hello ladies, hello gentlemen, this is the Victor Davis Hanson show.

I'm Jack Fowler, the host, our star, and the namesake is Victor Davis Hanson and he is the Martin and E. Lee Anderson senior

fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Wayne and Marsha Busk Distinguished Fellow in History at

Hillsdale College.

Victor lives on the internet at the Blade of Perseus, the web address there is

Victor Hansen.com, you should be subscribing.

I'm going to tell you why later in the podcast

Why you should be doing that plenty to talk about today. We're recording on

Sunday February 4th and this particular episode should be out on February 8th, but there's a couple of

Elon Musk stories that I think would be worth getting Victor's views on and we'll get to them

right after these important messages. We're back with the Victor Davis Hanson show so Victor earlier today and very early Sunday morning,

Elon Musk tweeted, Exed, however you might want to say it

about this college idea he has, but before we get into that and some other higher

topics, I think it's worth asking you if you have any opinion on this this Musk pay package deal at

Tesla where he took he made a deal he didn't take any salary etc and he made a you know a stock deal and he took the company to this you know outrageous I don't mean he bad outrageous but high high value and the deal was that he'd get what he got by the deal he was supposed to get 55 billion dollars he took the company from $20. get $55 billion.

He took the company from $20 a share

to close to $200 a share.

And a

I don't get it, you know, these are, I know people want to complain about corporate pay,

but this was a deal made between a board and an individual who achieved great success

and has a right to what was, he was agreed to be paid for that and is this law fair directed at

Elon Musk because he's coming over to our side, what do you think?
