Tesla shareholders decisively backed proposals to affirm Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package, according to details of the vote released on Friday.
Passage of the proposals was announced at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting on Thursday, without the underlying totals.
In the end, about 72 percent of voting shares backed the pay package, excluding stock owned by Mr. Musk and his brother, Kimbal.
For months, many Tesla investors have worried about how engaged Elon Musk would be in running the electric car company, after a judge in Delaware voided his pay package.
At Thursday’s closing price, the shares are worth about $48 billion.
