Urge every Tesla shareholder you know to vote for Proposal 6
It is especially important to vote for the binding Tesla Proposal
6 in order to have Tesla governed democratically by majority Tesla shareholder votes
Proposal 6 will make Tesla more accountable to the non-Musk Tesla shareholders
and will help to keep Mr. Musk focused on Tesla. The topic of Proposal 6 has repeatedly won majority support from Tesla shareholders at
multiple Tesla annual shareholder meetings.
This is all the more important because this may be the last chance
for the topic of Proposal 6 to be approved by Tesla shareholders since Mr. Musk plans to take greater voting control of Tesla. Plus Proposal
6 requires a 66-2/3% vote from all Tesla shares outstanding and a substantial number of Tesla shares do not vote. A Tesla share that does
not vote is the same as a vote against Proposal 6.
Adoption of Proposal 6 will pave the way for annual election of each
Tesla director. Annual election of each Tesla director will tend to prevent Tesla directors from being lap-dogs for Mr. Musk and Mr. Musk’s
outrageous pay packages.
Vote for Proposal 6 to keep Mr. Musk focused on Tesla shareholder
