Tesla has granted its chief executive Elon Musk $29bn (21.7bn) worth of its shares, in an attempt to keep the billionaire at the firm. The move comes after a US court struck down his 2018 pay package, worth more than $50bn, ruling that it was "unfair to shareholders".
Musk has been appealing against the decision made by the Delaware court in 2024 and on Monday Tesla told shareholders it was "confident" that the $29bn of shares "will incentivize Elon to remain at Tesla" especially as "the war for AI talent is intensifying". The award should boost Musk's voting power on the electric car company's board.
