Updates to add Tesla's newly proposed compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk Sept 5 (Reuters) - Tesla's TSLA.O board has proposed a $1 trillion compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk in what would be the largest corporate pay package in history. The newly proposed award is roughly 18 times the size of a contested 2018 pay package - then valued at $56 billion - and is close to the company's current market valuation. Tesla's board earlier this year approved an interim compensation package for Musk worth about $29 billion in restricted stock, designed to keep him at the helm through at least 2030.
