Tell Tesla Shareholders: Don’t Approve Elon Musk’s $1 Trillion Payout


Tell Tesla Shareholders: Don’t Approve Elon Musk’s $1 Trillion Payout
The Issue
Tesla’s board is asking shareholders to approve a new CEO compensation package for Elon Musk—one that could be worth up to $1 trillion over the next decade.
That would make it the largest pay package in corporate history.
We urge shareholders: Don’t do it.
Politics aside, this payout comes as Tesla faces major challenges:
- Vehicle sales declined for the first time in over a decade - driven by Musk's actions
- Quarterly profits dropped nearly 70%
- Customer trust has eroded, with growing concern about Musk’s public behavior and political alignment
- A $56 billion compensation plan was already revoked by a judge due to breach of fiduciary duty.
Now, the board wants to approve an even more extreme package—one that gives Musk massive control and wealth before the company delivers on its promises for robotaxis, humanoid robots, or consistent growth.
We are not opposed to innovation. But we are opposed to unchecked executive compensation when:
Employees are not sharing in that success
Shareholders still face volatility
Customers and the public are left wondering who Tesla really serves
We, the undersigned, urge Tesla shareholders to vote NO on Elon Musk’s $1 trillion pay package. Demand transparency. Demand fiscal responsibility. Demand a future where Tesla is led with vision—not just rewarded for ambition.
Add your name to tell Tesla: This deal is too big, too soon, and too risky.
