Tesla has announced a controversial pay package for CEO Elon Musk that could amount to an unprecedented $1 trillion over the next decade, assuming the company meets a set of ambitious performance targets. This proposal not only positions Musk as a potential first trillionaire but also raises questions about the implications for corporate governance and the wider economy. The Tesla board has emphasized the need for Musk to remain focused on business operations, suggesting that his continued leadership is critical for the company’s success. Investors view the plan as a significant incentive, yet concerns remain about the ethical dimensions of such a massive compensation package amidst broader economic challenges.
