Tesla has proposed a $1 trillion pay package for CEO Elon Musk, the largest in corporate history. The deal could make him the world's first trillionaire, but only if Tesla's value rises from its current level of just over $1 trillion to $8.5 trillion by 2035. Musk must also meet operational targets, including 20 million vehicle deliveries, 10 million paid Full Self-Driving subscriptions, 1 million robotaxis, and 1 million humanoid robots. The package requires him to stay in an executive role for at least 7.5 years and present a succession plan. Shareholders will vote on the plan on November 6 in Texas. But is this a bold bet on Tesla’s future or the costliest gamble ever placed on one CEO?
