Elon Musk's $45 Billion Pay Package
Tesla's board of directors and shareholders approved a pay package for Elon Musk, with the aim of increasing Tesla's market capitalization and revenue significantly. Musk would receive additional shares based on achieving set milestones to make Tesla a $650 billion company. Despite legal challenges due to perceived excessive control over Tesla, shareholders later reinstated Musk's pay package, possibly influenced by his charismatic leadership, potential impacts on Tesla's stock price, and the fear of losing him from the company.
Musk's Influence and Shareholder Approval
Musk's significant control over Tesla, including decision-making and board appointments, raised concerns about his influence on his own pay package. Shareholders initially supported his pay without full knowledge of his interactions with the board. The shareholders, wary of potentially negative consequences like Musk leaving Tesla, later reapproved his pay, indicating a preference to maintain his satisfaction and dedication to the company's success.
In today’s episode for 18th June 2024, we tell you why Tesla’s shareholders approved Elon Musk’s $45 billion pay package, despite a Delaware court cancelling it a couple of months ago.
