Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Tesla Board Faces Crucial Decision Over Musk's Record-Breaking Compensation Proposal
Caption: Tesla Board Faces Crucial Decision Over Musk's Record-Breaking Compensation Proposal. In a high-stakes vote Thursday, Tesla's board has put all its chips on Elon Musk. Shareholders will decide whether to approve a staggering compensation plan that could grant Musk up to $878 billion in company stock or risk losing him – potentially causing the company's stock to plummet. This unprecedented deal ties Musk's payout to ambitious performance goals, with Tesla's market value projected to soar to $8.5 trillion if Musk succeeds. Many investors support the move, betting Musk is the key to Tesla's future in AI, self-driving vehicles, and humanoid robots. But critics warn that the package is too risky, giving Musk unchecked power over the company and violating governance principles. Musk's leverage stems from Tesla's $1.5 trillion valuation, heavily reliant on his promises. As the largest shareholder, Musk has significant sway in this decision. Investors must now choose: back Musk's bold vision or face the risks of a potential departure. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
