Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $44.9 billion pay package is up for a vote at the company’s annual meeting, with Musk threatening to take his AI research elsewhere if it is not approved. The package would guarantee Musk’s continued leadership at Tesla and allow him to focus on AI and robotics, including autonomous vehicles. The company’s stock has been affected by uncertainty surrounding the package, and a related issue on the ballot is the potential move of Tesla’s legal home from Delaware to Texas.
