Advertisers have fled X in recent months following a series of controversies surrounding its owner Elon Musk.
  • Lawyers for a Tesla shareholder successfully sunk Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package from Tesla.
  • Now they're asking a judge for about 11% of the Tesla shares, worth about $6 billion, for attorneys fees.
  • Musk called the ask "criminal."

Lawyers for a Tesla shareholder successfully argued in a Delaware court that Elon Musk doesn't deserve a $55-billion compensation package for his work at the EV company.
