"Elizabeth Warren Renews Call for SEC Probe into Tesla and Elon Musk's Governance"

Senator Elizabeth Warren has once again called on the SEC to investigate Tesla, CEO Elon Musk, and the company's board of directors over potential misappropriation of resources and conflicts of interest. Warren's concerns stem from Musk's control over the board and recent actions that she believes prioritize his personal benefits over the interests of Tesla's shareholders. This request for investigation comes amidst a Delaware Chancery court ruling and Musk's recent public statements and actions. The SEC, which has clashed with Musk in the past, is now being urged to look into potential securities fraud related to Musk's activities with Twitter.

Legal Team Seeks $5-6 Billion in Tesla Stocks from Elon Musk Compensation Case

The lawyers who successfully challenged Elon Musk and Tesla's CEO compensation plan are seeking over $5 billion in Tesla stocks as their compensation. The court found that Tesla's board misrepresented Musk's compensation package and invalidated the vote on the plan. The lawyers argue that their requested fee is justified as it is linked to the benefit created and won't impact Tesla's balance sheet. Elon Musk criticized the lawyers' demand, calling it "criminal." While the lawyers' request is seen as excessive, it highlights the governance issues at Tesla, and the court's decision could lead to positive outcomes such as addressing governance issues and a re-vote on the compensation plan.
