Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay plan faces pushback from investors, state officials
A coalition including state treasurers and institutional investors cites declining Tesla performance and board oversight failures in urging investors to reject Musk’s $1 trillion pay plan.
- On Oct 2, a coalition including SOC Investment Group and state treasurers urged investors to vote against Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package at Tesla's November meeting.
- Shareholders say the board's actions prompted delays on key goals from the last annual meeting, faulting the Tesla board's "relentless pursuit" to retain Elon Musk, CEO, and noting last month's $1 trillion pay deal proposal.
- The plan ties payouts to targets including building a million Optimus robots and delivering around 12 million EVs by 2035, with Tesla's recent record deliveries supporting these goals.
- The coalition also urged investors to oppose re-electing Ira Ehrenpreis, Joe Gebbia and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson, while Tesla defended the plan on X, saying `If Elon Musk doesn't deliver results, he receives nothing`.
- Shareholders will decide the measure in November at Tesla's general meeting amid concerns demand may fall soon as a key US EV tax credit is expiring.
