Michael Dell Highlights Benefits of Elon Musk’s Proposed Compensation Plan

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, recently reiterated her strong support for Elon Musk’s proposed CEO Performance Award for 2025. She emphasized that Musk’s leadership has attracted exceptional talent and has positioned companies like Tesla as major disruptors in their industries.

Mixed Reception for Musk’s Compensation Plan

The proposal for Musk’s CEO Performance Award has garnered diverse reactions. While some proxy advisory firms, such as Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), intend to vote against his compensation package, others, including the State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA), are in favor of Tesla’s proposals.

Wood’s Confidence in the Vote

Cathie Wood maintains her optimism regarding the outcome of the vote on Musk’s 2025 Performance Award. She believes a positive decision will be advantageous for Tesla. “Elon Musk is the most productive human being on earth,” Wood stated. She believes Musk attracts talent that addresses significant global challenges, making his success beneficial for all. Following her remarks, Musk expressed gratitude by posting, “Thanks Cathie!” on social media platform X.

ARK Invest’s Position on Tesla

ARK Invest is one of Tesla’s most dedicated supporters. The firm’s holdings in Tesla amount to approximately $1 billion, marking it as their largest investment. Wood previously discussed her expectations that the approval of Musk’s compensation plan would instigate “super-exponential growth” for Tesla. She highlighted the introduction of new products like the Cybercab and Optimus that are set to expand Tesla’s offerings.

The Future Beyond Robots

Wood elaborated on the convergence of Tesla’s major platforms, which include robotics, energy storage, and artificial intelligence. She noted that this evolution is only the beginning, with humanoid robots also in the pipeline. “Our investment perspective has not even factored in humanoid robots,” Wood remarked during a podcast appearance on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett.
