On October 15, 2025, the Delaware Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Tesla's appeal to reinstate CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion compensation package, which was previously voided by a lower court. The case centers on whether the 2018 pay plan was fair to shareholders and whether a subsequent shareholder vote to ratify the package was valid. The hearing is a pivotal moment for Tesla, as the outcome could have significant implications for corporate governance, executive compensation, and Delaware's reputation as a hub for corporate law. A decision from the five-justice panel is expected to follow at a later date.
