A Delaware court voided Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package on Jan. 30 .

Legal experts expect Musk 's team to appeal the ruling to the Delaware Supreme Court .

The board of directors hasn't updated shareholders on what comes next.

Tesla hasn't issued an SEC filing to notify shareholders of the ruling.

Author Walter Isaacson says if the ruling doesn't get overturned, "it's going to hurt Delaware" Tulane Law School professor Ann Lipton says the Supreme Court should give great deference to the findings of the trial court.

Kastiel says the decision likely makes Musk and Tesla more vulnerable to other types of lawsuits.
