Tesla may be on the brink of a leadership shake-up as Chair Robyn Denholm issued a strong warning: Elon Musk could walk away from Tesla if shareholders fail to approve his massive $1 trillion compensation plan.
Denholm emphasized that Musk’s vision and relentless drive have been at the heart of Tesla’s transformation—from a niche electric car startup into one of the world’s most valuable companies. “Elon is not a typical CEO,” she said. “His motivation is tied to ambitious goals and ownership, not just a salary. If investors want him fully focused on Tesla’s future, we must secure his commitment.”
The proposed pay deal—one of the largest in corporate history—has stirred both excitement and controversy. It would grant Musk billions in stock options if Tesla continues meeting aggressive performance targets tied to market value, profitability, and innovation. Critics argue the package is excessive, while supporters say it’s a fair reward for the staggering value he has created.
This isn’t the first time Musk’s role has been questioned. After Delaware’s Court of Chancery struck down his earlier pay deal earlier this year, Tesla decided to move its corporate registration to Texas—a move many saw as an attempt to gain friendlier legal ground and more shareholder support.
Musk himself has hinted that his long-term future with Tesla depends on control and compensation that reflect his contribution. He’s made no secret of his growing focus on other ventures, including SpaceX, xAI, and Neuralink—projects that demand his attention and could easily become his next main priority if Tesla’s board fails to retain him.
Analysts warn that losing Musk could send shockwaves through Tesla’s stock and investor confidence. Despite his controversial public persona, markets often react sharply to his moves, underscoring just how deeply tied Tesla’s success is to his leadership and vision.
