Tesla wants to make Musk a trillionaire to keep him focused – but his political drama already tanked the stock price

Tesla’s board has put forward a shocking new pay package for CEO Elon Musk that could make him the world’s first trillionaire. The proposal would give Musk around 423 million shares in the company if Tesla meets big goals over the next 10 years. The main target is growing Tesla’s market value to $8.5 trillion.
