Robinhood’s Vlad Tenev says Tesla got SEC clearance for a retail shareholder voting program

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said Tuesday that the SEC issued Tesla a no-action letter clearing the way for a retail shareholder voting program. In a post on X, Tenev said Robinhood worked with Tesla on the effort and framed it as a step toward making it easier for millions of public-company shareholders to vote their shares. He also said Robinhood already offers some companies direct shareholder messaging, retail voting programs and live in-app earnings Q&A, with more features coming soon. Tesla and the SEC had not publicly detailed the program in the material reviewed here.
