Part 2/11:
The ambiance at Tesla's Austin headquarters was unlike any standard shareholder meeting. The venue was transformed into a cyber-rave scene, with purple lights, smoke, and Optimus humanoid robots performing dance routines. Elon Musk himself danced alongside Optimus, signaling a shift in Tesla's cultural narrative—more than just an automaker, Tesla is now venturing into the realm of science fiction becoming reality.
A major topic on everyone's mind was Elon Musk’s compensation package, which the shareholders approved with over 75% votes—a crucial endorsement that ensures Musk remains at the helm. This endorsement was essential, as it aligns Musk’s incentives with Tesla's long-term vision, particularly as the company accelerates into new product territories like Optimus and Cyber Cab.
