Tesla shareholders voted at their annual meeting to keep Elon Musk as chairman and CEO despite a proposal to fire him from those positions, Bloomberg reports .

Musk responded to the vote "emotionally," The Washington Post notes . The businessman's voice "wavered" as he spoke at the meeting about "the most painful and hellish months" the company "has ever experienced," the publication describes. "But I think we'll get there," Musk concluded.

The meeting participants opposed the idea of reorganizing the positions of Tesla chairman and CEO, which Musk currently holds. Shareholders also re-elected three company directors, Reuters writes.

The agency recalls that Tesla has faced serious problems in recent months , including delays in the production of the Model 3 sedan, accusations of discriminatory conditions in the company, and other claims. In addition, several top managers have left the company in recent months.

As a result, the company's shares have fallen about 7% year-over-year. Musk had previously promised that Tesla would be producing 5,000 Model 3 sedans a week by the end of June. He also proposed in a letter to shareholders to reorganize the company, which would improve the interaction between departments and eliminate activities that are not important for the final result.
