Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), has relayed the message that he is seeking increased control of the company prior to advancing artificial intelligence projects.
What Happened: Taking to his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend, Musk revealed he might consider developing AI products outside of Tesla if he isn’t given 25% voting control within the company.
He was responding to an X user who asked him the reason behind needing an additional hefty compensation package.
The tech billionaire voiced his unease about leading Tesla in AI & robotics without about 25% voting control saying, "I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can't be overturned."

The Tesla leader currently holds over 12% of the company. His statements surfaced as Tesla shares have declined 12% this year, erasing over $94 billion in market cap, following shareholder discontent over various matters and negative press, reported Bloomberg.
Presently, Tesla is investing significantly in the development of the Optimus robot and the Dojo supercomputer project. The automaker has invested over $1 billion into the latter project which is estimated to add $500 billion to Tesla’s value, the report noted.
Why It Matters: Musk’s compensation has been a topic of discussion after he showed interest in a new compensation package. Previously, it was reported that Musk hasn’t taken a salary from Tesla since 2019.
Instead, he holds shares and options linked to the company’s financial targets. His last block of options under a 2018 pay package was confirmed by Tesla in early 2023.
Meanwhile, it has also been reported that Tesla has been facing criticism over the performance of its vehicles in winter conditions. Musk, however, defended Tesla’s performance, saying that the vehicles operate excellently in snow.
