On September 8, TechCrunch reported that Tesla's board of directors had formulated a new compensation package for CEO Elon Musk, valued at a staggering $1 trillion. However, this package comes with a catch: several performance metrics have been significantly dialed down compared to Musk's earlier, more grandiose promises. This 10-year incentive plan lays out a series of ambitious targets for Musk. To be eligible for the full compensation, he must propel Tesla's market capitalization from its current standing of roughly $1 trillion to an astronomical $8.5 trillion. Additionally, he needs to achieve cumulative vehicle deliveries of 20 million units, deploy 1 million autonomous robotaxis (Robotaxis), manufacture and deliver 1 million Optimus humanoid robots, and significantly expand the subscriber base for the Full Self-Driving (FSD) service by 10 million, among other key milestones.
