Tesla board explores new pay deal for Elon Musk

In April 2025, Tesla established a special committee tasked with evaluating new compensation arrangements for CEO Elon Musk after his 2018 pay package was invalidated by a Delaware court.
The review follows a judge's January 2025 ruling that voided Musk's $56 billion 2018 package due to conflicts of interest and misrepresentation to shareholders.
A special committee consisting of Tesla’s board leader Robyn Denholm and board member Kathleen Wilson-Thompson is evaluating the possibility of introducing a performance-based stock compensation plan for Elon Musk if his previous pay arrangement is not reinstated.
Musk appealed the court decision starting March 11, 2025, while Tesla faces shareholder pressure amid declining EV sales and strategic shifts toward AI-driven robotaxis and humanoid robots.
The committee's outcome could redefine Musk's compensation and leadership role, influencing Tesla's future as it advances global Robotaxi deployment and humanoid robot production.
