The shareholders of the electric car maker will decide on Musk's compensation package on June 13.
This follows an earlier Delaware court ruling invalidating the approval process.
Denholm emphasized that Musk's unique role requires the substantial compensation package to keep him focused on Tesla.
She noted that Musk's other ventures, including SpaceX and xAI, have raised concerns among investors about his commitment to Tesla.
Denholm urged shareholders to approve the pay package, adding that Musk's influence is vital for achieving Tesla's goals.
Musk is also looking to acquire a 25% interest in Tesla and has hinted at splitting Tesla's AI research into a separate company if his demands are not met.
Additionally, the board chair urged shareholders to move the company's base to Texas from Delaware.
