> You can't just replace Musk and Tesla starts selling a 25k car.

Can't you?

As a shareholder, I'd welcome a proposal to fire Elon Musk, whether his replacement could produce a 25k car or not. It's clear to me that he has no interest in the success of the brand and will gladly see it fizzle if he has his way.

A majority shareholder vote decided to authorize an otherwise unnecessary payment to Musk, presumably to keep him as CEO. After that, a proposal to fire Musk would surely fail.
"otherwise unnecessary payment" is really an understatement.

The payment is literally the last 3 years of profit [1].
