Musk labelled ISS and Glass Lewis as “corporate terrorists” during an earnings call, stating they “have no freaking clue” about his compensation. The proposed deal, potentially the largest in history, would increase Musk's Tesla shareholding from 13 percent to almost 29 percent. Musk expressed concern that without increased voting control, he could be ousted from the company, particularly as Tesla develops its “robot army” of AI, robotaxis and Optimus robots. Tesla's board has warned shareholders that rejecting the compensation package, which is contingent on ambitious growth targets, could lead to Musk reducing his involvement or leaving the company.
