Payday: Tesla boss Elon Musk is set for £44bn windfall
Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust is set to back Elon Musk's £44billion pay package next month.
Tom Slater, who manages the £14.1billion trust, said he believes the award should
be paid after it was agreed in 2018.
As one of Tesla's longest-standing investors, it is a vote of confidence for Musk as
he faces a potential backlash at the car company's annual meeting on June 13.
‘We agreed the remuneration because it introduced extremely stretching targets that would make a huge amount
for shareholders if they were reached,' Slater told the Financial Times.
In January, a Delaware court ruled Tesla's board had not acted in investor's interests when agreeing the deal.
Shareholders now vote again on the plan next month.
Eight investors are calling for others to strike down the pay.
