Tesla, Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:TSLA) annual shareholder meeting scheduled for August is vital for the electric vehicle maker as it has played a gambit by bringing the now-nullified Elon Musk’s pay package back to the table. The desperation of getting a deal done is evident from the frantic calls by the board and more recently by the man himself.
On Saturday, the billionaire made an impassioned plea to shareholders to vote at the annual event, although he did not explicitly request to approve his pay package.
What Happened: “Please take a moment to vote your Tesla shares and let us know if you encounter any issues with voting,” said Musk in a post. The billionaire commented as Tesla influencer and investor Sawyer Merritt shared new instructions from the company regarding voting at the shareholder meeting.
