SEC Greenlights Tesla's Plan for Automatic Retail Shareholder Voting

The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved a proposal allowing Tesla to offer retail investors the option to automatically vote their shares in line with the company's board recommendations. This move enables shareholders to pre-authorize their votes for all future meetings until canceled, potentially streamlining governance for the EV giant. The timing coincides with ongoing speculation about a potential Tesla-SpaceX merger and CEO Elon Musk's future compensation structure.
