Why is nobody talking about the fact that #USSteel authorized hundreds of millions in stock buybacks even as their executives said they needed investment from #nipponsteel to upgrade their obsolescent plant and equipment? https://t.co/BUrLLtlpYl @Lazonick

@tmothergoddess The 8/7/19 tweet led to securities fraud charges. Even if that is no longer a problem, it is now too expensive. In 8/19 the cost at $420/share ($28 split adjusted) would have been $71 billion. Now TSLA market cap is $586 billion.

@RBReich Bob, The CEO pay numbers that almost everyone uses are not what US CEOs actually get paid. In 2022. Mary Barra actually took home $34.1 million. In 2021, it was $62.3 million. See the article @INETeconomics https://t.co/LoCS446DxP
