The Voiding of Elon Musk's Pay Deal
A Delaware court has voided Elon Musk's $55.8 billion pay deal with Tesla, erasing a significant portion of his wealth. The court ruled in response to a shareholder lawsuit that Tesla's board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by awarding Musk's equity compensation plan. The voiding of the pay deal raises questions about the governance at Tesla and suggests the need for new independent directors to represent shareholder interests. Tesla's directors will now have to develop a new compensation plan for Musk that meets legal standards, possibly requiring him to devote more time to managing Tesla.
