Tesla Shareholders to Vote on Elon Musk’s $1 Trillion Pay Package Amid AI-Driven Future Push
Tesla's annual shareholder meeting this Thursday marks a critical juncture as investors decide on CEO Elon Musk's unprecedented $1 trillion compensation plan. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives, ranked in the top 4% of Wall Street professionals, predicts "overwhelming shareholder approval" despite opposition from Institutional Shareholder Services and some investors.
The proposed incentive package ties Musk's compensation to extraordinary performance metrics, building upon his controversial 2018 $56 billion award. Tesla's board frames the plan as essential for motivating Musk to deliver on ambitious targets, including producing 20 million vehicles and achieving breakthrough AI milestones.
Market observers view the vote as a referendum on Musk's leadership during Tesla's transition to an AI-centric business model. Approval WOULD cement Musk's position at the helm of what could become the world's first trillion-dollar automotive/AI hybrid corporation.
