Get him to stay locked in for another ten ￰2￱ problem? Sales are down, investors are tired, and Tesla’s growth story looks shakier than ever. Robyn, who’s chaired Tesla’s board since 2018, has started doing interviews and meeting with big institutional ￰3￱ is her second time doing this in under two years.

She’s trying to push through a huge payday for Elon, again, with the not-so-subtle message that he could walk if he doesn’t get ￰4￱ leans on investor fears as Tesla’s delivery numbers fall Robyn is selling this new package at a rough time.

Still, she claims this new plan is exactly what investors have been asking for. “I was getting a lot of questions from shareholders about what does the future look like, for Elon and the company,” Robyn ￰10￱ 2016, she led the push to get Tesla investors to approve the SolarCity acquisition, Elon’s other company, which many saw as a bailout. She’s clearly used to fighting these ￰11￱ she’s still defending the 2018 pay ￰12￱ after the judge slammed her for “lackadaisical” oversight, Robyn dismissed that criticism. “Crap,” she told a ￰13￱ 95-year-old mother didn’t appreciate the ￰14￱ Robyn insists she’s doing her job.

“I know that I work for the shareholders,” she ￰15￱ says her role is about managing both Elon and the board while keeping shareholder interests in the ￰16￱ so far, the board seems fine with how she’s doing it. Tesla’s market value hit $1 trillion while Robyn’s been ￰17￱ credits Elon’s previous pay package for pushing him to ￰18￱ at most companies, the CEO doesn’t get this kind of ￰19￱ runs multiple businesses.
