Standard rotations are about 6 months - Butch and Suni were supposed to be up there for 8 days... Their families, their lives, and everything normal for way longer than planned.

They've been peddling compute since mid-2000's, however Nvidia has been around for much longer. To the revisionist history point, I'm unfamiliar seeing any of this prior to that. Unless I'm missing something, they were very much a graphics only company competing with 3dfx, Matrox, S3, ATi, etc
Anyone saying this package is unreasonable likely doesn't know that:
- This compensation package was approved, and he would only obtain payout if and only if Tesla reach some considerable aggressive milestones.

I doubt the people who experienced the technological revolution of locomotives and factories imagined the holocaust either. Of course technology has and can be used for evil
