Tesla Proposes $1 Trillion, 10-Year Musk Pay Plan Tied to Ambitious Targets

Directors describe the structure as a retention tool to keep Musk focused on long-term AI and autonomy.

Overview

  • Shareholders are slated to vote on the package at the November 6 annual meeting in Austin, Texas.
  • Awards would be paid in stock only if Tesla reaches roughly $8.5–$8.6 trillion in market value along with operational milestones covering a robotaxi network and humanoid robots.
  • Full achievement could raise Musk’s ownership toward roughly 25% to nearly 29%, concentrating his voting power.
  • The proposal follows a Delaware ruling that voided Musk’s 2018 award; Tesla has appealed and disclosed an interim grant of about 96 million shares worth roughly $29–30 billion.
  • The company’s filing prompted a modest market uptick, with reports noting Tesla shares rose about 2.7% after the disclosures.
