'Thanks For Your Support': Elon Musk Says Tesla Shareholders Voting For His USD 56 Billion Pay Package
News 18Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday said that Tesla shareholders are voting to approve his $56 billion pay package and to move the electric vehicle maker’s legal home to Texas. The resounding endorsement by shareholders of unprecedented remuneration terms in US corporate history may alleviate worries about Musk’s tenure at Tesla, while bolstering the company’s position in challenging a court ruling invalidating the pay package. Earlier, firms like Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services had urged shareholders to reject the pay package, and large investors including Norway’s sovereign wealth fund had said they would vote against it. Tesla shareholders also cast ballots on other proposals including the move of its legal headquarters from Delaware to Texas, as well as the re-election of two board members: Musk’s brother Kimbal Musk and James Murdoch.
