Tesla Seeks Shareholder Support for Musk's $55 Billion Compensation Plan Amid Legal Challenges

Tesla has launched a new website to persuade shareholders to approve Elon Musk's controversial $55 billion compensation package, previously invalidated by a Delaware court.

  • Tesla has initiated a campaign through a new website, urging shareholders to reapprove Elon Musk's $55 billion compensation plan, which a judge had previously invalidated due to governance concerns.
  • The compensation plan, originally approved in 2018, was rescinded after a judge ruled that Tesla's board did not adequately disclose its terms and potential conflicts of interest.
  • Tesla's new website claims that the compensation plan aligns with shareholders' interests and is crucial for the company's future, despite the legal setback.
  • In addition to the compensation vote, Tesla shareholders will also decide on relocating the company's incorporation to Texas and reelecting board members, including Musk's brother, Kimbal.
  • The company faces criticism for not addressing the judge's concerns about the compensation plan's approval process, which involved board members with close ties to Musk.
