In a recent development, Tesla has taken action to challenge Delaware Judge Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick's decision regarding Elon Musk's compensation plan. The electric vehicle giant has filed a letter, accompanied by the results of the votes from the 2024 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, urging the judge to reconsider her ruling.

The letter, submitted by Tesla's legal team on Friday, highlights that both Elon Musk's 2018 pay plan and the company's redomestication to Texas have been approved by TSLA shareholders. Tesla's legal representatives emphasize that the stockholders' vote results carry significant weight and influence the claims raised by Richard Tornetta, a stockholder who filed a case against Musk's pay package. Tornetta's legal team is seeking compensation of over 27 million TSLA shares, valued at more than $5 billion, for their involvement in the lawsuit.

With the ratification of Elon Musk's 2018 CEO Performance Award successfully completed at the 2024 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, Tesla believes that the shareholders' decision has a substantial impact on the ongoing legal proceedings. The company's legal team has proposed a meeting to discuss a potential revised schedule and paths forward, subject to the court's approval. Tesla's legal team also states that counsel for the individual defendants supports this request.

Chancellor McCormick had previously revoked Elon Musk's 2018 CEO Performance Award in January, claiming that Musk had controlled the process leading to the approval of the high-risk, high-reward payment plan. The judge further accused Tesla of concealing crucial information from TSLA shareholders regarding the attainability of the targets in Musk's compensation plan. It should be noted that all the targets outlined in Musk's 2018 pay plan have already been achieved.

The letter from Tesla's legal team, accessible via Plainsite, outlines the company's efforts to challenge the court's ruling. The development marks a significant step in Tesla's ongoing battle to overturn the decision regarding Elon Musk's pay plan.
