Will Musk get a $1T payday?
Tesla is asking shareholders to approve a pay package for Elon Musk worth up to $1 trillion, tied to ambitious milestones like achieving an $8.5 trillion market cap and delivering robots and autonomous vehicles.
What stands out
The company says the package is necessary to retain Musk and align his incentives with long-term value.
Shareholders will vote on the proposal at the November 6 annual meeting.
Top proxy advisory firms, including Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis, have advised investors to vote against the package citing its scale and structure.
The original 2018 Musk compensation deal (approximately $56 billion) was voided by a Delaware court earlier this year for failing proper governance standards.
The board warned that Musk could leave the company if the package is rejected, highlighting the leadership risk the company sees.
Things to keep in mind
This is not just about compensation; it’s linked to major strategic bets: AI, robotics, and autonomy.
If shareholders reject the plan, the governance signal will ripple far beyond Tesla.
The total value ($1 trillion) hinges on meeting very aggressive goals and could be substantially less if milestones aren’t hit.
For enterprise leaders, this vote is a reminder that in the AI era, leadership incentives and company strategy are becoming deeply intertwined—and the companies best able to align executive performance with long-term AI value will set new benchmarks.
In other news
Bill Gates says that China is outspending the entire world combined by twice in nuclear fusion and fission technology development. He sees nuclear power as critical to meeting future data center electricity demand and lowering energy costs globally.
Amazon is set to reduce up to 30,000 corporate jobs, starting Tuesday. The layoffs, affecting around 10% of its corporate workforce, are driven by overhiring during the pandemic and increased adoption of AI technology to automate roles.
