Tesla Faces Pivotal Vote on Musk’s Trillion-Dollar Pay as Norway’s Wealth Fund Opposes

Analysts expect passage because Texas law lets Musk vote his sizable stake.

Overview

  • Norway’s sovereign fund NBIM, holding roughly 1.1% of Tesla, said it will vote no, citing the package’s scale, dilution, and key‑person risk.
  • Proxy advisers ISS and Glass Lewis and funds including CalPERS urged a no vote, while Baron Capital and some asset managers have declared support.
  • The 10‑year award could approach $1 trillion if targets are met, including a $8.5 trillion market value, one million robotaxis, and one million AI robots, with up to about 423 million shares vesting in tranches.
  • Tesla’s board has warned Musk could leave or reduce his involvement if the plan fails, with investors voting today in Austin under rules permitting him to cast his own shares.
  • The proposal follows a Delaware court’s halt of Musk’s earlier $56 billion package, with related litigation and appeals still unresolved.
