Tesla Shareholders Face Crucial Vote on Musk’s Pay Package Tesla shareholders are being urged by influential proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis to reject Elon Musk's proposed $56 billion pay package, citing its "excessive size" and potential to devalue individual shares. Amalgamated Bank and others have written an open letter opposing the package, arguing Musk's focus is split among his other ventures. Both Glass Lewis and opposing shareholders recommend voting against the re-election of Kimbal Musk, Elon's brother, due to concerns over independence. Executives, including board chair Robyn Denholm, are actively seeking investor support worldwide.   Shareholders will vote on Musk's compensation at Tesla’s annual meeting on June 13. Although investors approved the payout in 2018, a judge voided it in January, necessitating a new vote. Glass Lewis also advises voting against Tesla's proposal to move its incorporation from Delaware to Texas, citing uncertain benefits and added risks. This vote is critical for Tesla's future governance and strategic direction.

The approval of Musk's $45 billion compensation package comes despite opposition from notable shareholders, such as Norway's sovereign wealth fund and the California State Teachers' Retirement System, as well as proxy advisory firms Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services.[1] Tesla's board emphasized the potential consequences of not approving the package, suggesting that Musk might lose interest in the company, while Musk expressed confidence in his investor backing.[1] The vote outcome thwarts concerns that a rejection might lead Musk to dedicate less time to Tesla or even resign, as he has threatened to do if he does not receive sufficient compensation.[2][3] Supporters argue that the package is essential to retain Musk's leadership and ensure his continued focus on driving Tesla's growth and innovation in areas such as AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.[2][3] Sources [1] Tesla shareholders approve CEO Elon Musk's $45bn pay package https://lnkd.in/dJXaf8su [2] Tesla stockholders vote to restore Elon Musk's $44.9B pay package https://lnkd.in/gYXz6fZJ [3] Tesla shareholders approve $46 billion pay package for CEO Elon Musk https://lnkd.in/dV24dKt8

Some of Tesla's institutional shareholders are getting out, convinced that the electric carmaker's days of dizzying growth are in the rear-view mirror, writes David K. Randall for Reuters. The company's shares are down nearly 30% this year and have fallen by more than 50% since their 2021 high, wiping out some $600 billion in market value as CEO Elon Musk has struggled with fierce competition and falling sales. Tesla's first-quarter results missed analyst expectations, though Musk said the company would release new models in 2025 that would be more affordable. Of the 18 mutual funds tracked by Morningstar that have held Tesla shares since 2019, 10 reduced their positions in the last quarter, with four slashing their stakes by 15% or more, Morningstar data showed. Only five added shares.

Following one of the best days ever for Tesla Inc.’s stock, Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter’s note sums up what might have been driving that momentum. “This Was an Unexpectedly Good Quarter in Almost Every Way,” Potter titled his latest report. At the time he published his report, Tesla shares were up 12% in extended trading, prompting Potter to muse that they should have perhaps been up more. “If anything, we’re surprised by the weakness,” he wrote.

Do you think Elon Musk deserves a $55 billion pay package? Tesla shareholders say NO! Recently, a Delaware judge struck down this pay package (the largest compensation package in history) as a shareholder challenged it as excessive. Tesla’s stock slid 3% after the ruling. The stock fell over 24% in January, starting off the year on a bad note. One analyst went so far as to say, “And when it comes to its stock price, Tesla is Screwball Central.

Show Me the Money... 💵 Ol' Musky wants to get paid,... $56 Billion. "Tesla on Wednesday asked its shareholders to once again approve a record-breaking $56 billion pay that was set in 2018 but was rejected by a Delaware judge in January. The compensation includes no salary or cash bonus, but sets rewards based on Tesla's market value rising to as much as $650 billion over the next 10 years. Tesla is now valued at $500.36 billion, according to LSEG data. Tesla also urged its investors on Wednesday to approve its plan to move the company's state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas. The shift could escalate a tussle between Musk, who has spoken up several times against regulators and what he considered red tape, and the state of Delaware. Earlier this year, Musk shifted location of incorporation of his rocket company SpaceX to Texas and brain-chip startup Neuralink to Nevada from Delaware." What's your take? How much is too much? Does he deserve $56 Billion if he can get the stock back up to $190? #Tesla #Compensation #Pay #Musk
