Tesla says Musk should be paid $1tn - will shareholders agree?
Published: 11/5/2025

Tesla aims to pay Elon Musk $1 trillion, presenting the proposal to shareholders ahead of the annual general meeting (AGM). The package is contingent on Musk raising Tesla's market value to $8.5 trillion and furthering the company's self-driving car efforts. While Musk garners support from high-profile figures, critics point to Tesla's sales decline and question the focus on Musk's compensation rather than core business. The AGM in Austin, Texas may serve as a referendum on Musk's leadership, as shareholders weigh in on the controversial pay package.
