Tesla shareholders overwhelmingly approved a performance-based compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk on November 6, 2025, that could award him up to $1 trillion in stock over the next decade if ambitious milestones are met. The vote, held at the company's annual meeting in Austin, Texas, passed with more than 75% support despite opposition from some major investors. The package aims to secure Musk's leadership amid Tesla's push into AI and robotics.
The Delaware Supreme Court has overturned a lower court's order to rescind Elon Musk's 2018 executive compensation package at Tesla. The ruling, issued on December 19, 2025, focuses narrowly on the remedy, reinstating the package while awarding nominal damages to the plaintiff. This decision highlights the challenges of applying equitable rescission in cases involving significant past performance.
