Why It Matters: For the shareholder meeting scheduled for June 13, Tesla shareholders will vote again on Musk's 2018 pay package which was rescinded by a Delaware court earlier this year after deeming it an "unfathomable sum."
为何重要：在定于6月13日举行的股东大会上，特斯拉股东将再次对马斯克的2018年薪酬待遇进行投票，该薪酬待遇在今年早些时候被特拉华州法院视为 “深不可测的数额” 后撤销。
The package was worth $56 billion at the time of award and a majority of stockholders voted for it then. The board is attempting to have it reinstated with the new vote.
该一揽子计划在授予时价值560亿美元，当时大多数股东都投了赞成票。董事会正试图通过新的投票将其恢复。
The shareholders will also deliver a verdict on shifting Tesla's state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas where the company is already headquartered.
股东们还将就特斯拉的注册州从特拉华州转移到该公司已经设立总部的德克萨斯州作出裁决。
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas sees the upcoming shareholder vote driving material volatility in the stock and determining the company's long-term strategic direction.
摩根士丹利分析师亚当·乔纳斯认为，即将举行的股东投票将推动股票的实质性波动，并决定公司的长期战略方向。
Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black, too, believes the package will likely be overwhelmingly approved by shareholders in the upcoming annual meeting, rendering a "huge positive" to the company.
未来基金管理合伙人加里·布莱克也认为，该一揽子计划可能会在即将举行的年会上获得股东的压倒性批准，这给公司带来了 “巨大的积极影响”。
