Elon Musk’s Pay Package Could Make Him the First Trillionaire by 2034
Tesla shareholders have approved a compensation package for Elon Musk that could potentially make him the world's first trillionaire in the next decade. This astronomical figure is difficult to comprehend, but let's try to grasp its magnitude.
A trillion dollars is a vast sum, enough to buy 1,428 peak Shohei Ohtanis, every car sold in the US this year, or 10,000 CEOs of Starbucks. It could also acquire major oil companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips. To put it into perspective, the entire Ivy League could be bought five times over with a trillion dollars. That's equivalent to the annual GDP of Switzerland.
To achieve this, Tesla's market capitalization needs to increase by a staggering 466%. This pay package is tied to Musk and Tesla hitting certain milestones, including a past billion-dollar contract from the US Defense Ministry for a satellite network project. If successful, Musk's wealth would surpass the current US national debt, which stands at $38 trillion.
A trillion dollars is a sum beyond most people's comprehension, representing a level of wealth that's hard to grasp. If Elon Musk's compensation package plays out as planned, it could make him the world's first trillionaire, reshaping the landscape of global wealth.
