I read this article and still walked away feeling like I didn’t understand the situation that well.

Is it $56 billion that he’s already been paid, and he needs to return it? $56 billion he’s partially been paid, and he can keep what he has, but won’t get the rest? Something more complicated?

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $55.8 billion pay package was unfair to the electric carmaker’s shareholders and must be rescinded

    Yes, elon will have to pay it back. You would have to return the money if your employer mistakenly overpaid you too.

    If elon is unable or refuses, there are remedies they can pursue, just like all debts.
