Elon Musk's Tesla Remuneration Sparks Remarkable Comments from The Pope Itself
Elon Musk, the visionary CEO of Tesla, is on a mission to revolutionise the automotive industry once again. His latest endeavour involves a colossal pay package worth an estimated $1 trillion, a sum that has been met with scepticism from a US judge, who has rejected it multiple times.
The compensation plan is contingent on Musk's continued leadership at Tesla and the successful launch of 1 million fully autonomous robotaxis in commercial service. To unlock this monumental payday, Musk must also achieve at least $400 billion in sustained annual adjusted EBITA for Tesla. Furthermore, he must oversee the development and deployment of 1 million Optimus AI bots and 1 million fully autonomous robotaxis.
If successful, Musk could be granted over 423 million shares from Tesla. This potential compensation exceeds the $56 billion in compensation he was previously set to receive from Tesla, making him a strong contender to become the first trillionaire in history, with a net worth of $463.2 billion.
However, this ambitious plan has raised concerns about the growing economic divide. Pope Leo XIV, the head of the Catholic Church, has expressed his worries about the rising inequality worldwide. He cited Elon Musk as an example of global economic inequality, stating that today CEOs earn up to 600 times more than the average worker, whereas in the 1960s they earned only 4 to 6 times more.
The Pope voiced his concerns about the widening income gap between the working class and the wealthiest, citing it as one of the reasons for growing polarization inside and outside the church. He spoke about the wealth gap during a recent media interview, stating that if becoming a trillionaire is the only thing of value, there could be serious problems ahead.
As Musk strives to achieve his ambitious goals, the world watches with a mix of awe and concern. The timeframe for his $1 trillion compensation extends over the better part of the next decade, setting the stage for a fascinating journey that promises to reshape the automotive industry and, perhaps, the global economic landscape.
