Support of 75 percent shareholders, but…
A Tesla official said in the company’s annual meeting that this salary package of Elon Musk has the support of more than 75 percent of the shareholders. This substantial compensation is designed to ensure that Musk does not leave Tesla and continues to serve as its head. However, even if the package is approved, Musk will not get all the money immediately. They must first achieve several operational and financial targets.
To receive full payment, they would have to make 20 million Tesla cars over 10 years, significantly increase the company’s market value and operating profit, and build one million robots. Even if they don’t meet these lofty goals, they could still get a bigger share of the package. For example, if they increase the company’s market cap by 80%, double vehicle sales, and triple operating income, they could get $50 billion worth of additional Tesla shares.
