(Reuters) -Tesla shareholders will vote on Thursday on whether to ratify CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package, which a Delaware judge voided in January because she found he improperly controlled the process.

Musk said late on Wednesday that shareholders were voting by wide margins to approve the pay package.
