Tesla is proposing a US$1 trillion pay plan for Musk, drawing resistance over governance and shareholder-control concerns ahead of the vote.
Tesla’s board has put a staggering US$1 trillion compensation package to its CEO Elon Musk on the upcoming shareholder vote, sparking backlash from major U.S. unions and institutional investors. Critics argue the plan concentrates power, dilutes shareholder voice and lacks performance-based transparency, with voices like the New York State Comptroller calling it “pay for unchecked power”. Musk’s supporters contend the agreement matches the company’s ambitious targets in AI, robotics and autonomous vehicles—notably areas where Tesla leads globally.
