Tesla (TSLA) trades lower after judge rejects Musk's $56B compensation package

Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are trading around 3% lower in the after-hours on Tuesday, after a Delaware judge ruled to void Elon Musk's $56B pay package.

A Delaware judge sided with investor plaintiffs who challenged Musk's controversial compensation plan.

"The plaintiff is entitled to rescission," the judge said in her ruling, and directed parties to confer on a final form of order to implement her decision.

Over the past few weeks, Musk has been vocal about seeking greater control of the EV company he co-founded.

“I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control,” Musk wrote in a post.
