Ms. Denholm has made $198 million in the past six months selling Tesla stock that she earned for serving on the board, according to a New York Times analysis of securities filings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That brings her total profit on the sale of Tesla stock to more than $530 million since becoming the board\u2019s leader in late 2018, far more than her peers have made at the most valuable U.S. companies during that time, the analysis shows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The share sales raise questions about Ms. Denholm\u2019s confidence in Tesla\u2019s prospects. Her most recent sales, executed under a prearranged trading plan filed last summer, came as Mr. Musk, the company\u2019s chief executive, took a time-consuming role in the Trump administration. Tesla\u2019s car sales have plunged partly because Mr. Musk\u2019s political activities have turned off some car buyers. The company\u2019s quarterly profit fell in the first three months of 2025 to its lowest level in four years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Denholm earned the right to buy those shares, what are known as stock options, for serving on the board, a part-time position. Tesla granted the options between 2014 and 2020, and its share price has soared since then, giving Ms. Denholm has the right to buy shares for a lot less than their current price. Last week, for example, she bought more than 112,000 shares for $24.73 apiece and sold them the same day for more than $270.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cTo dump her stock, it doesn\u2019t send a message that this is a board chair who is invested in the future of the company,\u201d said the New York City comptroller, Brad Lander, who oversees the city\u2019s five public pension funds. As of March, those funds held more than three million Tesla shares, valued at the time at roughly $817 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokesman for Ms. Denholm said Tesla paid board members in a manner that was \u201ccompletely aligned with shareholder interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe reason the value of the Tesla directors\u2019 options has increased is because Tesla has outperformed its industry peers and created outsized returns for the owners of the company, the shareholders,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Stock options, which for years made up the bulk of Tesla directors\u2019 compensation, are only valuable if the company\u2019s share price rises, as Tesla\u2019s did. Those who exercise their options to buy company stock can sell or hold onto their new shares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Denholm has sold more than 1.4 million Tesla shares and continues to hold 85,000 of them and roughly 49,000 stock options, according to the Times analysis. Equilar, a compensation consulting firm, reviewed the methodology. Her latest wave of stock sales were carried out under the plan she set into motion in July, soon after Mr. Musk endorsed Donald J. Trump for president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Under securities regulations, executives and other insiders can use such plans to trade shares in their companies. They are not required to disclose many details of their plans, including the reason for them or the conditions under which shares will be sold. They also have a lot of leeway to cancel the plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A native of Australia and veteran technology executive, Ms. Denholm has maintained a low profile and rarely speaks publicly about Tesla or Mr. Musk. She was recruited to the Tesla board in 2014 and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/11\/08\/business\/tesla-new-chairwoman-elon-musk.html\" title=\"\">appointed chair in 2018<\/a> after Mr. Musk <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/09\/29\/business\/tesla-musk-sec-settlement.html\" title=\"\">agreed to step down<\/a> from the position under a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She and other board members have been criticized by some investors, activists and a Delaware judge for not serving as counterweights to Mr. Musk, who is widely seen as brash and impulsive. Tesla directors have also been faulted for failing to ensure that he remains focused on Tesla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMusk operates as if free of board oversight,\u201d Chancellor Kathaleen St. J. McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery wrote last year when she ruled in favor of a shareholder who had challenged Mr. Musk\u2019s 2018 pay package, valued at around $56 billion. Judge McCormick, in that ruling, described Ms. Denholm\u2019s style of overseeing Mr. Musk as \u201clackadaisical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tesla has appealed the decision, which voided Mr. Musk\u2019s pay package, and Ms. Denholm has pushed back on Judge McCormick\u2019s critique.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAnybody who knows me, knows that I am not lackadaisical, now that I know what that word means,\u201d Ms. Denholm <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/aa5464fd-c7c5-4f38-a2df-374a07439d88\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told the Financial Times last year<\/a>. \u201cIt is probably the furthest from the truth. I am really intense and very diligent in what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During the trial over Mr. Musk\u2019s pay, Ms. Denholm described the money she had made from her Tesla board service as \u201clife-changing.\u201d Director pay at Tesla was subject to a separate lawsuit that Ms. Denholm and other board members settled in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk, who has long been a part-time chief executive of Tesla, has taken on even more responsibilities over the years. He has become a regular presence in Washington, leading President Trump\u2019s efforts to slash government spending and dismiss federal government employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk said recently that he would <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/22\/business\/tesla-earnings-elon-musk.html\" title=\"\">cut back his time in Washington<\/a> to one or two days a week. His attention will likely remain divided, however, because he also leads several other businesses, including SpaceX and X, the social media site he owns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Denholm\u2019s first sales under her recent trading plan took place in November, the week after the presidential election, as Tesla\u2019s share price was climbing. The stock reached a new high a few weeks later, in December. She continued to sell through early May, as the company faced consumer backlash over Mr. Musk\u2019s political activities and the stock price fell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The stock is now down around 34 percent from its peak after recovering some of its losses over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk acknowledged Tesla\u2019s difficulties during a meeting with company employees in March. \u201cIf you read the news it feels like, you know, Armageddon,\u201d he said half-jokingly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He went on to advise workers not to sell their stock, saying that Tesla would become the most valuable company in the world as it perfects self-driving taxis and robots that resemble and move like humans. \u201cThe future is incredibly bright,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Denholm\u2019s sales have far outstripped those by other Tesla directors, with the exception of Mr. Musk, who remained on the board after stepping down as chair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She and other current and former Tesla board members agreed to settle a shareholder lawsuit over their pay in 2023, collectively agreeing to return compensation valued at $735 million. They denied wrongdoing. Stock options valued at more than $130 million were canceled on May 1 to satisfy Ms. Denholm\u2019s obligations under that settlement, securities filings show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Board members agreed in June 2021, after that lawsuit was filed, to forgo new equity grants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Denholm also made more money selling her company\u2019s stock than the leaders of other corporate boards during the same period. The Times reviewed stock sales by board chairs at the most valuable U.S. companies who, like Ms. Denholm, are not executives at those companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The nonexecutive chair with the next-highest profit from selling shares in the company he oversees was Stephen Hemsley of UnitedHealth Group. Mr. Hemsley has earned more than $100 million from the sale of UnitedHealth shares since November 2018, though he received all of that stock while he was chief executive of the health care company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">UnitedHealth Group confirmed the findings, but declined to comment. On Tuesday, the company announced Mr. Hemsley would retake the chief executive job in addition to serving as chairman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Share sales by executives and directors often predict poor performance by the companies they lead, some academic research has found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Leaders like Ms. Denholm have access to nonpublic information and a deep understanding of how broader economic forces may affect company performance. That can make their trades especially profitable, according to Nejat Seyhun, a professor of finance at the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Insiders \u201cset up plans when they have information,\u201d Professor Seyhun said. If conditions change, \u201cthey can cancel those plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
