A Tesla driver’s family had sought damages for the 2018 crash, which happened while the carmaker’s driver-assistance software was in use.
The carmaker and energy company settled with a Black man who had worked at its California factory and had won a $3 million judgment against the company.
The company’s board of directors will now decide whether to appeal the decision, change where Tesla is incorporated or negotiate a new pay package.
Shareholders had sued, arguing that Mr. Musk’s compensation — which helped make him the world’s richest person — was excessive.
The electric carmaker sued the agency to deliver license plates for its cars, the latest escalation as a labor fight enters its second month.
An employee who was fired after expressing safety concerns leaked personnel records and sensitive data about driver-assistance software.
The decision by a California jury is the first involving a fatal accident that lawyers representing the victims said was the fault of Tesla’s self-driving technology.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit accusing the carmaker of mistreating Black employees at its factory in California.
Wisk Aero, owned by Boeing, entered a financial and technological partnership with Archer Aviation and dropped a lawsuit claiming theft of trade secrets.
The case centers on whether investors lost money because they believed Mr. Musk’s social media posts about taking Tesla private in 2018.
