Tesla's $29 Billion Stock Package for Elon Musk Remains Intact Amid Ongoing Legal Challenges
Elon Musk's stock package from Tesla, valued at around $27 to $29 billion in shares, has been reaffirmed by the company following recent court rulings in Delaware. This new compensation arrangement, which includes approximately 96 million shares, was designed to replace or address any prior legal uncertainties stemming from disputes over Musk's 2018 pay package.
The stock package, consisting of 96 million shares of Tesla, is part of Tesla's long-term incentive plan for executives. Unlike the 2018 offer, the recent one is contingent on Musk continuing as Tesla’s CEO for another two years. Each share in the package is priced at $23.34.
If Musk wins the legal battle and receives the compensation package of nearly $56 billion, he would have to return the $29 billion worth of stock that he has already been awarded. The stock package awarded to Musk in 2018 was worth approximately $56 billion at the time and consisted of shares of Tesla. It was tied to the achievement of certain corporate goals over a ten-year period.
Despite the ongoing legal challenges, Tesla's board has moved forward with this significant compensation plan. It reflects a renewed commitment from Tesla to keep Musk engaged long-term, effectively intertwining shareholders' fate with his continued leadership. The offer of the stock package comes amid a recent decline in Tesla's profits.
It's worth noting that some analysts attribute the decline in Tesla's profits to Elon Musk's temporary advisory role for US President Donald Trump. Additionally, Elon Musk is currently facing attempts by some shareholders to remove him as CEO of Tesla.
Tesla, headquartered in Delaware, has recently moved to Texas. Musk's acceptance of the stock package would be subject to regulatory approval.
