There is increasing speculation that Elon Musk could become the first trillionaire under a new unprecedented pay package proposed by Tesla. The package, which sets ambitious targets for the CEO, is reportedly worth up to $1tn. However, his political involvement and the potential impact on Tesla business has instigated shareholder concerns. Musk is also broadening his focus beyond Tesla with the expansion of xAI, offering lucrative engineering positions in Seattle.
He is also reimagining Grok, suggesting a new AI direction. Yet, his absence from a White House reception with tech leaders led to rumours, while his attention to the controversial cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, has drawn criticism. Consequently, reactions to his trillionaire potential have been mixed.
Fresh leaked messages have exposed contradictions about Musk's stance on self-driving technology, while his endorsement of Optimus robots has been met with skepticism due to their lack of market presence. Information about a $760 million project for tunnelling under Texas has been revealed, hinting at more ventures beyond Tesla. Regardless of the mixed views, the board of Tesla reaffirms their confidence in Musk, proposing what could be a groundbreaking pay agreement for the tech visionary.
