Elon Musk: “It’s Not About Pay—It’s About Protecting Tesla’s Future From Activist Investors”

Elon Musk on his pay package: It's not a money thing. It's a control over the future of the company thing.

“Sufficient voting control such that I cannot be ousted by activist investors is what matters to me.

And I've said this publicly many times, but let's not have this whole thing be a discussion of my alleged pay. It's not a money thing. It's a reasonable control thing over the future of the company.

Especially if we're building millions, potentially billions of humanoid robots.”
