Musk’s Lucrative Compensation Plan Gets Green Light
特斯拉 股东们重申了首席执行官 $45 亿美元的巨额薪酬计划 埃隆-马斯克表决结果推翻了法院阻止该奖项的裁决。表决在 Tesla’s annual meeting 在奥斯汀、 德克萨斯州, signals strong shareholder confidence in Musk’s leadership despite ongoing controversies and legal battles, reported the 纽约时报.
法庭之战
今年 1 月,大法官法庭的 Kathaleen St. 特拉华州 agreed with shareholders who argued that the 2018 pay package was excessive. However, Tesla’s board called for a new vote, hoping that fresh shareholder approval might influence the court’s decision. Despite this effort, legal experts remain skeptical. “It doesn’t change a thing,” said Charles Elson, founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware.
股东视角
马斯克的支持者,包括董事会主席罗宾-登霍尔姆(Robyn Denholm),都强调了他为特斯拉带来的价值。
"登霍尔姆在致股东的信中说:"埃隆不仅是一位有远见的人,而且是一位有能力执行我们的使命并取得令人难以置信的宏伟业务成果的首席执行官,为你们创造了非凡的价值。
然而,这次投票也凸显了投资者之间的分歧。一些大型机构投资者,包括挪威银行投资管理公司和 加利福尼亚州 Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), opposed the pay package, citing concerns over Musk’s polarizing behavior and recent declines in Tesla’s sales and profit.
财务影响
The compensation plan is tied to demanding performance targets, including revenue and profit benchmarks, and a sustained increase in Tesla’s stock value to $650 billion. These targets, once deemed ambitious, have been met, allowing Musk to collect the stock options.
Tesla shares have dropped over 25% this year, though they rose on the day of the vote. At its peak in 2021, Tesla’s market value was $1.2 trillion, but it has since fallen to around $580 billion.
更广泛的影响
Shareholders also approved relocating Tesla’s corporate registration to Texas, a move motivated by perceived unfair treatment from Delaware courts. Additionally, a proposal to prevent Tesla from interfering with workers’ unionization efforts was rejected, reflecting Musk’s ongoing opposition to organized labor.
EVXL’s Take
The shareholder vote underscores the strong belief in Musk’s vision and leadership despite significant challenges. This decision not only impacts Musk’s status as one of the world’s richest individuals but also reflects broader tensions about executive compensation and corporate governance. As Tesla continues to navigate legal hurdles and market fluctuations, the outcome of this vote will likely influence the company’s future direction and investor relations.
