Norway's Wealth Fund To Reject Elon Musk's $44.9 Billion Pay Package, Raising Concerns

Jun 09, 2024 - techtimes.com
Norwegian sovereign wealth fund Norges Bank Investment Management, which owns 0.98% of Tesla, has announced it will vote against Elon Musk's $44.9 billion pay package at Tesla's annual meeting. The fund has expressed concerns over the size and structure of the package, which was rejected by a Delaware judge earlier this year. Other shareholders, including ISS and Glass Lewis, have also suggested rejecting the package.

Tesla chair Robyn Denholm has warned that Musk may resign if his pay package is denied, stating that Musk has other projects where he can make a significant impact. Despite this, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives believes Musk is "not going anywhere" but may step down as Tesla CEO if the vote fails. In other news, Musk announced that the Tesla Model Y will not receive an upgrade this year.

Key takeaways:

  • Norwegian sovereign wealth fund Norges Bank Investment Management will vote against Elon Musk's CEO salary package at Tesla's annual meeting due to concerns about the size and structure of the package.
  • Tesla chair Robyn Denholm has warned that Elon Musk may resign if shareholders reject his pay package, stating that Musk has other projects where he can make a significant impact.

  • Elon Musk announced that the Tesla Model Y will not receive an upgrade this year, highlighting Tesla's ongoing improvements and the company's struggle to upgrade its older models due to high borrowing rates.
