Core Viewpoint - The Delaware Supreme Court ruled that Elon Musk's $56 billion compensation plan must be reinstated, reversing a lower court's decision that deemed it too extreme [1][3]. Group 1: Court Rulings and Legal Context - The Delaware Supreme Court stated that the lower court did not allow Tesla the opportunity to explain how the compensation was fair [1]. - The initial compensation plan, approved by Tesla's board and shareholders in 2018, was valued at approximately $56 billion and included 12 performance targets for stock options [3]. - The lower court had previously ruled the compensation plan invalid, but the Delaware Supreme Court's recent ruling may end years of disputes regarding Musk's high compensation [3][4]. Group 2: Compensation Plan Details - The original $56 billion compensation plan has increased in value to about $140 billion, and if Musk exercises all stock options, his ownership stake could rise to 18.1% [3]. - A new compensation plan, approved by over 75% of shareholders, could potentially value Musk's stock at $1 trillion, with a target of 12 performance metrics [5]. - Tesla's shareholders had previously created a "Plan B" to allow Musk to purchase approximately 96 million shares at the price set by the original compensation plan, but this plan is now void [5]. Group 3: Corporate Governance and Future Implications - To prevent future lawsuits from shareholders, Tesla has relocated its corporate registration from Delaware to Texas, implementing laws that restrict lawsuits from investors holding less than 3% of shares [5]. - Musk's current ownership in Tesla is approximately 13%, and he has been declared the world's first person with a net worth exceeding $600 billion [7].
