Record-breaking bonus for Tesla’s CEO
At Tesla’s annual shareholders meeting, a decision was made that could change the history of corporate compensation. Company shareholders approved a pay package for Elon Musk that could reach one trillion dollars. This move paves the way for Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire, despite his controversial reputation and ongoing debates surrounding his persona.
Musk’s impact on the company’s future
Experts note that Tesla’s success is closely tied to its leader’s actions. Despite a dip in the brand’s popularity among some customers—linked to Musk’s political views and his social media activity—most investors still view him as essential for the company’s growth. In recent months, Tesla has faced declining sales in Europe and rising competition from Chinese manufacturers, but demand for its cars in the US remains strong thanks to tax incentives.
Ambitious goals and risks for investors
According to the approved plan, Musk will need to implement several large-scale projects: ramp up production to 20 million cars per year, launch one million robotaxis, and deploy one million humanoid robots. Additionally, the company is counting on increased subscriptions to its autopilot service. Analysts warn that achieving these goals will require not only technological breakthroughs, but also significant efforts to adapt to changing market conditions. Some experts express doubts about the prospects of Tesla’s autonomous transport systems, yet most shareholders are willing to back Musk, expecting the company’s value to continue growing.
Investment climate and market expectations
The American investment culture traditionally encourages entrepreneurs who can offer innovative solutions and deliver impressive results. The examples of other tech giants, such as Meta and Amazon, show that investors are willing to bet on charismatic leaders. In Tesla’s case, many shareholders believe the company would not have reached its current heights without Musk. Despite concerns about his involvement in other ventures, most prefer to keep him at the helm, believing that his unique approach gives the company its distinct market position.
