The board of directors at Tesla has approved the issuance of 96 million new shares, valued at approximately $29 billion, to Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk. This decision is designed to secure Musk's commitment to the company's growth for at least the next two years. The objective is to address concerns regarding Musk's divided attention and tackle the ongoing business challenges, particularly during Tesla's crucial transformation into an AI and robotics enterprise. Following the court's reversal of Musk's 2018 compensation package, the new award will vest gradually, contingent on his continued employment with the company until 2027, subject to a five-year stock holding period. Should the court reinstate the previous package, the new award will be adjusted to preclude double benefits. Tesla's share price has declined by approximately 25% this year, impacted by factors like decreasing electric vehicle sales, heightened market competition, and Musk's political stance. The company anticipates that this measure will bolster investor confidence and ensure that Musk continues to steer the company through its current challenges.
