Tesla Inc. co-founder Elon Musk urged a Delaware judge to toss an investor lawsuit alleging he improperly sold more than $7.5 billion in shares after receiving inside information that the electric-car maker would miss its production and delivery targets in 2022.

The “interim” package announced on Monday was intended to help retain Elon Musk, whose previous pay plan was invalidated by a judge.

The EV maker’s board granted 96 million shares of restricted stock to its CEO after a judge struck down earlier pay packages.
