Bill Ackman defends Elon Musk’s call for $56 billion pay package in Tesla: ‘Taking away compensation is theft’
Live MintBill Ackman American billionaire hedge fund manager on Thursday, June 13, extended support to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has sought approval for a $56 billion pay package from shareholders. Taking away @elonmusk’s compensation after he created enormous value for shareholders is theft.” He added, “And stealing from a CEO who has created spectacular value for shareholders is not a smart long-term decision for the company.” In 2021 and 2022, Elon Musk sold around $38 billion of Tesla stock to help finance his purchase of Twitter, now called X. This comment comes a day after Elon Musk acknowledged that the company's shareholders were voting to approve his multibillion-dollar pay package by “wide margins.” Former Tesla General Counsel and FIGS Chief Legal Officer Todd Maron in a post on X, he said, “The vote on the pay package for @elonmusk should be a landslide in favor.” The ex-Tesla General Counsel claimed that among all the things that he liked while working for Tesla, the pay package stood at the top as one of the most essential factors. He praised the SpaceX founder for his achievements and sacrifices in the domain over the years and his expertise in execution of the company which “inspired everyone else at Tesla to achieve what most didn’t even realize they could do, and the world changed for the better as a result.” Maron appealed to Tesla investors to cast their vote considering Elon Musk’s “brilliant leadership and decision-making” and ensure that "sanity and fairness" prevails.
