    From what I have read, he’s still likely to be able to line up enough votes to get his $1 trillion pay package (and the associated voting rights), despite a lot of major institutional investors being in opposition. But we’ll see when the vote goes though.

    I think that Tesla can probably get a more-effective CEO for less money, personally. Even if he leaves as CEO, he still owns 15% of Tesla and is fabulously wealthy as a result. I don’t feel like he’s getting a bad deal.

    I do think that there are some arguments that the SEC should pass some regulation to help ensure board-CEO independence; part of the issue is that the board, which is supposed to oversee Musk, has been considered to be acting on his behalf by quite a few people. I don’t think that it will happen under the present administration, though.

      Musk takes $0 pay as CEO other than these post-performance-goal-hit pay packets though. Good luck finding another CEO who will work for free for 5+ years.

        I’ll happily do it for $1 million a year and do a hell of a lot better than musk. Considering the difference between $1 trillion and $1 million is pretty much $1 trillion I’m basically working for free.
