More than 8,000 Tesla shareholders have objected to the legal fee request, submitting over 1,500 letters and objections, according to court documents.

Elon Musk's Tesla pay package was valued at $44.9 billion in April 2024. It was an all-stock package, approved by the board and shareholders in 2018, that rewarded Musk for hitting milestones such as raising Tesla's market value, pretax income, and revenue1. However, the package was thrown out by a Delaware judge in January 2024, who said the process for approving it was "deeply flawed."

Tesla's stock fell in reaction to the January ruling that rescinded Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package, as the decision created uncertainty about Musk's future at the company.
