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.

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.

While the fund acknowledges the value generated under Musk's leadership, it raises concerns about the size of the award, performance triggers, dilution, and key person risk. Furthermore, the fund plans to vote in favor of a proposal calling on Tesla to adopt a freedom of association and collective bargaining policy.
