Interesting. I don't think all of them would get awarded. If I'm not mistaken this was when Tesla experienced continued delays in bringing the Roadster to production and into customers' hands. This was the time when Elon actually took position at CEO and started to get things grinding.
Good for DavidV to get a reward of some sort, but at the same notion... if certain members of the team weren't getting the job done was it really a surprise?
At the same time, painting the picture in the media that the communications guy, the HR person, and the IT guy, among others, are the reason for the Roadster's delay is disingenuous at best.

Sounds like the award was for stock options. Did the laid off people not get a chance to buy their vested options?
You make an excellent point. It's probably why you won.
On the ABG article it was mentioned that you might buy a Model S. Is that true? If so, I'm very impressed.
Further evidence that journalism is, well, in a sad state:Tesla has lost a lawsuit filed by former Director of Communications David Vespremi. While the courts only awarded $207,000, the case could set a precedent for a class action lawsuit involving 99 other former employees.
Further evidence that journalism is, well, in a sad state:
- Tesla was described as a Goliath. Nobody in the car (or related) industry would describe Tesla in that fashion. Lazy and reaching.
- They used the term "mass firing" and apparently repeated someone else's "Stealth Bloodbath" phrase to describe 26 "let go" employees. I don't see what's stealth or bloodbathy about it, but that's not their phrasing so they get a small pass. But since when is 26 "mass"? Was that even 50+% of the company's employee count at the time or something?
Sorry, Domenick; I'm cranky for some reason tonite.
@DavidV - Glad to hear the troubles with the company didn't sour you on the tech, or the vehicle.
David - from reading the original complaint, looks like you worked for Tesla less than a year? Did you continue to work for them after they changed your status to independent contractor in late 2007, early 2008? The complaint wasn't clear on that.
