Overview
- More than 75% of shares voting supported the plan at Tesla’s Austin meeting, with Musk’s roughly 15% stake excluded from the tally.
- The package grants up to about 423.7 million shares over 10 years, issued in 12 tranches, and provides no salary or cash bonus.
- Unlocking the full award requires a market value of about $8.5 trillion and milestones including 20 million vehicles, 10 million Full Self‑Driving subscriptions, 1 million robotaxis, 1 million humanoid robots and sustained large earnings.
- If all tranches vest, Musk’s ownership could rise to about 25%, and he must remain vested for at least 7½ years and develop a succession framework.
- Proxy advisers ISS and Glass Lewis and Norway’s sovereign wealth fund opposed the plan, and legal scrutiny continues after a Delaware court voided his 2018 award with a Supreme Court ruling pending.
