特斯拉董事会已批准向埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）授予9600万股股票（价值约300亿美元）作为新薪酬 方案的一部分。此前，这位亿万富翁首席执行官威胁称，若未获得更多控制权，他将离开这家电动汽车 制造商。 特斯拉在周一的一份文件中表示，这一决定由仅由董事长罗宾·登霍姆（Robyn Denholm）和董事凯瑟琳 ·威尔逊-汤普森（Kathleen Wilson-Thompson）组成的特别委员会提议，随后获董事会批准。 "如今，留住埃隆比以往任何时候都更重要，"该公司在致股东的信中称，"我们相信，这份奖励将激励 埃隆留在特斯拉……鼓励他，让他专注于推动特斯拉进入下一个增长时代。" 周一，特斯拉股价上涨2.2%，至309.26美元。 七年来，特斯拉和马斯克一直在特拉华州就此前一份560亿美元的薪酬奖励应诉股东诉讼。这是美国历 史上规模最大的高管薪酬方案。 2024年1月，特拉华州法官凯瑟琳·麦科米克（Kathaleen McCormick）驳回了该方案，裁定其过于丰厚， 且董事会成员受马斯克左右。 此后，马斯克多次威胁称，除非获得对特斯拉更多控制权，否则将离职并优先打理其他企业。这位全球 首富还运营着太空探索 ...
