$1,000,000,000,000, Elon Musk earns $275 million a day, but he says he is not interested in money.
Musk has just become the world's first trillionaire! On November 6, Tesla shareholders overwhelmingly approved his exorbitant compensation plan, with over 75% voting in favor.
As soon as the news broke, he directly took two robots and danced at the headquarters (ง •̀_•́)ง, saying this is not only a new chapter for Tesla but also the beginning of a whole new book! Now his net worth has reached $473 billion, and his compensation has landed him in the "Four Comma Club"—meaning his wealth figure has four commas! Calculating, he can earn $275 million a day over the next ten years.
In contrast, the annual salary of the CEOs of Microsoft and Apple is less than $100 million, even though their companies are worth more than double Tesla's. It doesn't really matter.
Next, Tesla aims to achieve a bunch of crazy goals, such as selling 20 million cars, getting 1 million robot taxis, and the stock price needs to rise from $1.5 trillion to $8.5 trillion. This is the new height of CEO compensation, but Musk may not receive all the funds, not even a penny. Because to cash this "check," multiple operational and financial targets need to be met.
