Optionality
mixed — materially weaker band than spacex. Musk holds ~13% Tesla equity (per Wikipedia infobox) with NO supervoting share class, so he lacks SpaceX-style structural lock; the board has been highly deferential (re-approved a $1T, 10-year pay package in Nov-2025 tied to an $8.5T market-cap milestone) but that deference is under live legal pressure — a Delaware court voided Musk's earlier $56B package in Dec-2024 for improper board process, and the same fact pattern (a friendly board, a Musk-picked comp committee) could resurface for the new package. Net: Musk runs Tesla day-to-day but, unlike SpaceX, outside holders/courts retain a real check.
