Tesla asks shareholders to approve $29B comp package for Elon Musk amid ‘AI talent war’


The plan would be voided if the Delaware Supreme Court overturns the decision to spike Musk's $56B comp plan from 2018. A judge ruled in 2024 that plan was unfairly negotiated.

Musk’s involvement in the 2018 compensation package, which was worth around $56 billion, was one of the reasons why Delaware Chancery Court judge chancellor Kathaleen McCormick decided to strike it down following a trial sparked by a shareholder lawsuit. Sean O’Kane is a reporter who has spent a decade covering the rapidly-evolving business and technology of the transportation industry, including Tesla and the many startups chasing Elon Musk. He previously worked at The Verge, where he also covered consumer technology, hosted many short- and long-form videos, performed product and editorial photography, and once nearly passed out in a Red Bull Air Race plane.
