Is Musk's Big Payday Make-or-Break for Tesla's Share Price?
The Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) share price surged ahead of the company's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday, 6 November. Central to the meeting is CEO Elon Musk's proposed compensation package, potentially worth up to $1 trillion.
It's not just about the money but concerns that Musk might leave if the deal is rejected. Musk expressed a desire to maintain control:
[translate:“My fundamental concern … if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted at some point in the future?“]
The package mainly consists of stock, conditioned on Musk achieving ambitious performance targets for Tesla over the next decade. If successful, Tesla's market capitalization could soar to $8.5 trillion — over five times the current $1.5 trillion valuation.

This debate highlights the high stakes surrounding Musk's leadership and Tesla's future valuation.
Summary: Elon Musk's enormous pay package hinges on ambitious Tesla growth, dividing investors over potential rewards and risks for the company's future.
