法院判了:马斯克工资不该有560亿!
当地时间1月30日,特斯拉首席执行官马斯克在该公司的约560亿美元薪酬方案被特拉华州一名法官驳回。
A judge in the US state of Delaware voided the $56 billion compensation package of Tesla chief executive Elon Musk on Tuesday, siding with a shareholder who claimed the entrepreneur was overpaid.
随后,马斯克在社交平台回应其560亿美元特斯拉薪酬计划被否,“永远不要在特拉华州注册公司”。他还就特斯拉是否应该将其注册地更改为得克萨斯州发起投票。

The case was argued in Delaware, where Tesla and many other major US corporations are incorporated. While Musk did not have an immediate comment on the decision, he did tweet Tuesday, “Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware.”
“I recommend incorporating in Nevada or Texas if you prefer shareholders to decide matters,” he said in a second tweet. He also put up a poll on X asking if Tesla should change its state of incorporation to Texas, where its headquarters is based. As of 7 am ET, 88% of those responding to the poll were voting yet.
据报道,理查德·托内塔等一些特斯拉股东认为马斯克的薪酬方案金额过高,且方案是他本人强行通过的,因此向法院提起诉讼。马斯克和特斯拉董事会的律师辩称,薪酬方案是由股东投票批准的,自获得批准以来,股东们已经看到特斯拉股票价值大幅上涨,“马斯克是公司价值上升的关键,因此薪酬方案是合理的补偿。”律师还称,马斯克不拿现金工资或奖金,如果该薪酬计划被否决,他将得不到应有报酬。
Attorneys for Musk and the Tesla board argued the pay package was approved by a shareholder vote. Excluding the votes owned by Musk and his brother, 73% of the shares voting in that election supported the pay package.
They also argued that the shareholders had seen their Tesla shares massively increase in value since it was granted. The company’s market cap was valued at $54 billion at the time the pay package was approved. It had risen to $607 billion as of the close of trading Tuesday, a gain of more than 1,000%. The Tesla attorneys argued that Musk was a key to that rise in the company’s value and that the pay package was therefore reasonable compensation.
The Tesla attorneys also argued that Musk, who does not receive a cash salary or bonus, would be uncompensated if the package was thrown out.

然而,特拉华州法官麦考密克在裁决中写道,马斯克与负责代表特斯拉进行谈判的董事们有密切联系,并主导了董事会批准其薪酬方案的过程,“至少就这笔交易而言,马斯克控制了特斯拉”。麦考密克还否决了马斯克得不到补偿的观点,称其先前拥有的股权为他提供了数百亿美元的回报,由此裁定该薪酬方案无效。
But McCormick rejected the argument that Musk would be uncompensated if the package was thrown out, writing, “Musk’s preexisting equity stake provided him tens of billions of dollars for his efforts.”
如果马斯克后续无法通过上诉改变这一裁决,他的财富将大幅缩水。据报道,估计这一数字将降至1543亿美元,马斯克本人也将因此降至世界第三富,而过去几年大部分时间他都位居全球富人榜榜首。
Without them his net worth would drop to US$154.3 billion, making him the third-richest person in the world after spending most of the past couple of years as No. 1, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
