Part 6/10:
The Vote of Confidence: Support from Shareholders
In a landmark vote, over 75% of Tesla shareholders approved Musk's 2025 CEO performance award. This high support level reflects strong belief from the investing community in Musk’s vision and leadership. Larry Goldberg, a serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist, highlighted that this approval surpasses typical executive compensation votes, indicating profound confidence in Musk’s ability to fulfill Tesla's ambitious goals.
This support also signifies that shareholders recognize the high risk-high reward nature of Musk's plan. The reward is contingent upon Tesla's transformative growth, especially in AI and robotics, where Musk positions Tesla as a dominant player alongside NVIDIA in the "physical AI" revolution.
