Comment on Vanguard vote switch helped pass Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $56B pay packageparent

Can a court control a company against the repeated votes of share holders?

Can a shareholder vote overturn a court decision? No. So what is the practical impact here? It doesn't change a board without outsiders, which was one problem with the pay package. It doesn't retrofit an arms-length negotiation, which was another problem. This isn't a new incentive agreement because crafting a replacement with the same outcome and same tax impacts is not possible. As far as I can tell Elon can't collect on the incentives, which also means shareholders take no hit on dilution, yet.
