Proxy Firm Urges Tesla Shareholders to Reject Musk's $56 Billion Pay Deal and Texas Relocation
  • Glass Lewis, a proxy advisory firm, recommends Tesla shareholders vote against Elon Musk's $56 billion pay deal.

  • The compensation package is the largest for a CEO in corporate America and lacks a salary or cash bonus, contingent on Tesla reaching a $650 billion market value.

  • Glass Lewis also advises against relocating Tesla's domicile to Texas, citing uncertain benefits.

  • Concerns include the excessive size and dilutive impact of Musk's compensation and his involvement in time-consuming projects like the social media platform X.

  • Tesla's board endorses the pay package, but some shareholders, including the largest individual shareholder, oppose it.

  • Musk has threatened to move AI and robotics development outside of Tesla if he doesn't have sufficient voting control.

  • The upcoming vote at Tesla's annual meeting on June 13 will determine the fate of Musk's leadership and the company's direction.

  • Tesla promotes shareholder approval through advertisements and a dedicated website, seeking to secure support for the package previously rejected by a Delaware judge.
