Overview
- Investors endorsed the package with roughly 75% support at the Austin annual meeting, making Musk eligible for a record equity award.
- The plan delivers 12 tranches over a decade tied to demanding thresholds such as an ~$8.5 trillion market value or 20 million vehicles, plus targets for robotaxis, humanoid robots and Full Self-Driving subscriptions.
- If every tranche vests, Musk could receive about 424 million additional shares—around 12% of current capital—raising his ownership toward roughly 25%–29%.
- Large holders and proxy advisers were divided, with Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, ISS and Glass Lewis opposed, while Baron Capital and Florida’s state pension board backed the plan.
- A separate vote on potential investment in Musk’s xAI yielded no clear result, and Tesla’s board said it will review the outcome and decide next steps.
