The RIFs language is actually great. Not only does it rehire the people RIFed during the shutdown, it makes it an unequivocal Antideficiency Act violation to do ANY MORE RIFs through the duration of the CR (Jan 30)

A reminder that Elon Musk was not awarded a $1 Trillion pay package.
Tesla set up a bonus program where IF Tesla achieves EBITDA growth of a level no mature company ever has, he could receive that.
Their profit would have to be $7.5 Trillion to achieve that.
(Last year it was $12.5 Billion)
