Norway's sovereign wealth fund will oppose Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package at Tesla.
Tesla shareholders will vote on the deal on Thursday.
Two major proxy advisor firms have also opposed it.
Norway's sovereign wealth fund, operated by Norges Bank Investment Management, has said it will vote against Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package at Tesla's annual meeting on Thursday.
In a statement, Norges Bank Investment Management said, "While we appreciate the significant value generated under Mr. Musk's leadership since the grant date in 2018, we remain concerned about the total size of the award, the structure given performance triggers, dilution, and lack of mitigation of key person risk."
Norway's sovereign wealth fund is valued at $1.7 trillion and is the eighth largest Tesla shareholder, per Reuters.
