Elon Musk Poised to Become World's First Trillionaire
Tesla shareholders are set to vote on a historic compensation package that could crown CEO Elon Musk as the first person ever to hold a trillion-dollar fortune. The proposal involves grants of shares and stock options spread over ten years, potentially boosting Musk’s ownership beyond his current estimated 13% stake in Tesla.
Details of the Compensation Package
The vote, scheduled in Texas, marks one of the largest corporate pay decisions presented to investors. If approved, Musk would receive stock vesting rights contingent on meeting a series of ambitious performance goals. This could lead to compensation surpassing the GDP of more than 170 countries, including Singapore, Sweden, Norway, and Qatar.
On Thursday, Tesla shareholders could anoint Elon Musk as the world’s first trillionaire. @will_gottsegen writes about the company’s existential vote in The Atlantic Daily.
Performance Milestones and Corporate Strategy
The award depends on Tesla achieving significant long-term financial targets aligned with its 10-year plan. These goals include hitting a market capitalization near $8.5 trillion and generating up to $400 billion in maximum EBITDA.
Tesla asserts that Musk’s leadership is crucial for reaching these milestones, underpinning the company's confidence in his ability to deliver exceptional growth.
Summary
This unprecedented compensation package underscores the enormous value placed on Elon Musk's leadership, potentially making him the first trillionaire and reshaping perspectives on individual wealth.
