One thing that has become clear to me in recent weeks is that some brokerages and institutions holding shares, especially those outside the U.S., make it way too difficult for individual stockholders to vote their shares. In some cases, people can't even vote at all. I've been trying to help countless people through direct messages (others like @TeslaBoomerMama have too), but the number of obstacles some people face just to vote is crazy, and I can only help to an extent. Fortunately, voting is relatively easy with most U.S. brokerages. Historically, retail shareholder participation in these annual shareholder meetings is quite low, but I get the sense that won't be the case this time. In all my years as a Tesla shareholder, I've never seen the retail base this involved. For the record: On May 2nd, I voted FOR the reinstatement of @elonmusk's 2018 CEO performance award package.
