Tesla again seeks shareholder nod for Musk's 2018 pay voided by judge

Tesla is seeking shareholder approval for CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package, which was rejected by a Delaware judge in January. The compensation is based on Tesla's market value reaching up to $650 billion over the next decade. The judge called the package an "unfathomable sum." Tesla disagrees with the decision and is asking shareholders to vote on the original package. The company also wants approval to change its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas. Musk's compensation for 2023 was $0.

Elon Musk may be compelled to testify again in SEC's Twitter takeover probe

A federal judge may compel Elon Musk to testify again in the SEC's investigation into his Twitter takeover.

The investigation focuses on whether Musk violated securities laws during his 2022 purchase of Twitter, now known as X. Musk has previously provided documents and testified for the SEC, but the agency seeks further testimony due to new documents. This ongoing dispute stems from Musk's 2018 tweet about taking Tesla private.

Elon Musk may leave Tesla if $56 bn pay not approved, Denholm warns shareholders

Tesla's Chairperson, Robyn Denholm, has stated that CEO Elon Musk may leave the company if shareholders vote against his $56 billion pay package during the upcoming shareholders meeting. Denholm emphasized that motivating someone like Musk requires a different approach, and if shareholders reject the pay package, Musk may take his talents elsewhere. The approval process for Musk's compensation package was recently voided by a Delaware judge for being "deeply flawed". Denholm argued that the package is not about the money but about retaining Musk's focus and commitment to Tesla.
