Why Tesla Just Threw $1 Trillion at Elon Musk

Tesla's board proposes a pay plan granting Elon Musk $1 trillion in stock for meeting 12 market and operational milestones, including boosting value eightfold and selling millions of vehicles and AI robots.

  • Tesla Inc.'s Board of Directors proposed a $1 trillion restricted stock pay package in 12 tranches for Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, tied to market and operating targets.
  • With sales sliding, Tesla Inc. faces a 14% vehicle delivery decline and the board granted Elon Musk an interim restricted stock award worth about $32 billion amid Delaware court appeals.
  • Among the specified targets are 12 market-cap milestones from $2t to $8.5 trillion and operating goals including 1,000,000 robotaxis, 1,000,000 AI bots, 10,000,000 FSD subscriptions, and 2,000,000 cumulative EV sales.
  • The news nudged Tesla shares up around 5% at trading start, and the plan could boost Elon Musk's net worth from about $400 billion to over $1 trillion.
  • Analysts observe the targets imply multiplying Tesla's core profits by 18, roughly 50% a year, making the package's 25-fold net profit and eight-fold market-cap goals highly improbable.
