Elon Musk’s Tesla Ownership and Influence
As of the end of 2025, Elon Musk holds approximately 20% of Tesla’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares, equating to over 300 million options recently exercised. In comparison, Vanguard is the second-largest shareholder with a 6.1% stake. This significant ownership grants Musk substantial voting power, potentially overshadowing the interests of other shareholders.
Musk’s influence extends beyond Tesla, as he controls 82% of voting rights at Space Exploration Corporation (NASDAQ: SPCX), which has a market cap of $1.5 trillion. His control at Tesla, while not as absolute, still raises questions regarding the balance of power between the CEO and shareholders, particularly given that any challenges to his decisions are likely to be weak.
