Elon Musk's $1tn pay deal approved by Tesla shareholders

Thursday, November 06, 2025

Tesla boss Elon Musk has had a record-breaking pay package that could be worth nearly $1tn approved by shareholders. The unprecedented deal was approved by 75% of votes and drew huge applause from the audience at the firm's annual general meeting on Thursday. Musk, who is already the world's richest man, must drastically raise the electric car firm's market value over 10 years. If he does this and meets various targets, he will be rewarded with hundreds of millions of new shares.

EXCELLENT!.., and that is/was up to the shareholders. Not a shareholder?, then your opinion's meaningless in the scheme of things.

This is a stupid headline.

Might as well put it as 10Trillion, I mean if we're going to get upset.

This must really grind the Canadians that need to turn over their land deeds to the First Nations tribes.

I have lots of opinions about stocks that I don't own, or no longer hold, or might hold in the future. All investors do, it's called due diligence.

tardSarge musta spent all his money on Pabst and doesn't invest. So his opinion doesn't matter.

Elon claims Tesla is an AI company, but he already has an AI company xAI. Tesla is going all in on Robotaxi and robots. Neither venture will be profitable enough to justify a multi-trillion valuation.

Waymo is worth around 50 billion and is years ahead of Tesla in the driverless transport market. Elon's taxis remain under human supervision.

Elon's robots also do not have the potential for such high valuations of Tesla. The idea that households will spend tens of thousands of dollars for a robot, plus presumably hundreds or thousands per year for the software updates, just so they don't have to fold their clothes is ridiculous. Even if they did, it's not enough to justify such high valuation. Factories and assembly lines are already using robotics and have been for decades, so no game changer there.

Tesla is already massively overvalued solely because of Musk's cult following. The current stock price has nothing to do with fundamentals.

You're right.

I'll just short for no reason at all.
