SpaceX to Reward Musk for Mars Colony With 1 Million People
The award also depends on SpaceX reaching a $7.5 trillion valuation and building orbital data centers, the filing said.
- On Wednesday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's new 1 billion-share compensation plan, disclosed in an S-1 filing, requires him to establish "a permanent human colony on Mars with at least one million inhabitants."
- While Silicon Valley "moonshot" packages typically reward corporate growth, this 15-tranche award ties vesting to market-cap milestones and the establishment of a human colony on Mars; the board adjusted milestones after xAI's February merger.
- If SpaceX hits the $7.5 trillion market-cap milestone, the award could theoretically swell to about $583 billion, dwarfing Musk's previous $55.8 billion Tesla compensation plan that faced a Delaware court battle.
- Separately, the filing outlines an award of about 302 million shares for orbital data centers, reinforcing Musk's 85.1 per cent voting power ahead of a record initial public offering planned for next month.
- The filing says the award's second condition "reads more like science fiction than securities law," as SpaceX lacks specifics on how to certify a million-person Mars colony, though both milestones must be met to unlock vesting.
