The one share to rule them all...and in the darkness bind them....
>Our Class B common stock will have ten votes per share; our Class A common stock will have one vote per share; and, except as summarized here, our Class A common stock will vote together with our Class B common stock on any matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote. Under our charter, holders of our Class B common stock, voting separately as a class, will be entitled to elect 51% of the total number of authorized directors constituting our board (rounded up to the nearest whole number) and will have the ability to remove those directors for as long as there is at least one share of Class B common stock outstanding. As a result, holders of our Class B common stock will have control over the composition of our board and significant influence over the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval. Please refer to “Description of Capital Stock” for certain other actions that will require approval of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock voting separately as a class. This concentration of voting power will limit or preclude the ability of holders of our Class A common stock, including purchasers of Class A common stock in this offering, to influence corporate matters and the election of our directors.Upon completion of this offering, Mr. Musk will beneficially own a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock and a majority of the voting power of the common stock (the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock voting together) and therefore will be able to elect all the members of our board. Mr. Musk, who will serve as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board under our charter and can only be removed from our board or these positions by the vote of Class B holders, as set forth in our charter, will exert significant influence over our business and affairs.

Essentially, if all Class B shares convert to Class A shares except one, one Class B share will elect over half of the board of directors. Literally, the one share to rule them all.
