The leading EV maker Tesla has caught the eyes of the market, as the majority of its shareholders are voting to approve the <a href="https://coingape.com/cardano-founder-charles-hoskinson-backs-elon-musk-amid-55b-tesla-pay-fiasco/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$56 billion pay package</a>. In addition, the shareholders have also voted in favor of Tesla’s legal home transfer to Texas, marking a significant development.
In addition, the voting, which Musk celebrated on social media, signifies broad confidence in his leadership despite ongoing legal disputes. Notably, <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/elon-musk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Elon Musk</a> has also shared his gratitude towards the shareholders for their support.
The pay package plan was initially laid out in 2018 and has attracted market attention due to its controversial position. Notably, it represents the largest pay deal in U.S. corporate history, which the <a href="https://coingape.com/tesla-sold-none-of-its-711m-bitcoin-btc-in-q1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tesla</a> board believes should be given to Elon Musk for hitting specific market value, revenue, and profitability milestones.
However, the plan had been previously invalidated by a Delaware judge, who criticized the Tesla board for granting Musk an “unfathomable” amount and failing to ensure proper shareholder consent. Despite that, the board’s decision to put the package to a shareholder vote aims to strengthen its appeal against the ruling, signaling confidence in Musk’s critical role in Tesla’s success.

<h2 id="crypto-community-reacts">Crypto Community Reacts</h2>
Elon Musk’s pay package and the decision to relocate Tesla’s legal headquarters have stirred reactions beyond the company’s shareholder base. The netizens, especially the crypto community reacted as Elon Musk shared the latest development on the X platform.
For context, Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus, also known as <a href="https://coingape.com/dogecoin-founder-defends-elon-musks-x-on-key-algorithm-feature/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shibetoshi Nakamoto</a>, has celebrated the development shared by Elon Musk. Besides, he also slammed the “Delaware Judge” in his comment on the social media platform.
On the other hand, Cardano co-founder <a href="https://coingape.com/charles-hoskinson-breaks-silence-on-cardano-partnership-with-elon-musk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Charles Hoskinson</a> praised the majority support for the Tesla pay package, criticizing Delaware’s legal system for attempting to divert shareholder funds to lawyers. In addition, Hoskinson also voiced against incorporating in Delaware, citing Elon Musk’s case as evidence of a biased system.
Meanwhile, some large shareholders, including Norway’s sovereign wealth fund and California’s largest pension funds, opposed the pay package due to the robust amount. However, despite that, Tesla has actively campaigned for support, particularly from its retail investors who often do not participate in voting.
Following the development, <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-stocks/tsla/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tesla stock price</a> rose 6.5% in the pre-market session to $188.88 on June 13, after closing at $177.29 on the previous day.
