Elon Musk rejected a dinner invitation from Nicolai Tangen, the head of Norway's $1.7 trillion sovereign wealth fund, following NBIM's vote against Musk's multimillion dollar Tesla pay package. Musk indicated that attending would be costly and challenging. In response, he emphasized the philosophy of friendship, suggesting that favors should be reciprocated. The message exchange was revealed after Tangen released texts under freedom of information laws, and Musk raised concerns about his texts being shared with the media.
"When I ask you for a favor which I very rarely do, and you decline, then you should not ask me for one until you've done something above nothing to make amends."
"This would be very difficult and expensive for me to attend," Musk replied in October.
