Tesla Board Proposes Trillion-Dollar Package for Elon Musk, with Ambitious Goals and Promise to Make Him Even More Powerful in the Global Sector
The Tesla board of directors has presented a proposal that stands out for its unprecedented scale. The company aims to offer Elon Musk a compensation package that could reach US$ 1 trillion, around R$ 5.4 trillion at the current exchange rate. This information was reported by Bloomberg and is already sparking debate in the global financial market.
If approved, the plan would be the largest corporate compensation package in history. The goal is to keep Musk at the helm of Tesla, even as he leads four other companies: SpaceX, xAI, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.
Therefore, the automaker’s strategy is clear: to ensure the focus and presence of its CEO at a time considered crucial.

The conditions for Musk to receive the trillion-dollar figure are extremely ambitious. In ten years, Tesla needs to increase its market value from the current US$ 1 trillion to US$ 8.5 trillion.
Additionally, the company must sell over 12 million electric vehicles, achieve 10 million autonomous driving subscriptions, operate 1 million robo-taxis, and sell 1 million Tesla Bots humanoid robots. Another key point will be to elevate adjusted earnings to US$ 400 billion.
The plan is designed in 12 stages. With each goal achieved, Musk will receive an additional 1% of Tesla’s shares.
If all are met, he will accumulate a 12% stake, increasing his total control to about 25%.
This aligns with an old request from the executive for greater voting power, primarily to advance AI and robotics projects.
In a letter included in the document, board chair Robyn Denholm emphasized that Musk is irreplaceable at this moment.
She noted that Tesla faces challenges, such as declines in stock prices due to weaker sales and controversies involving its leader. “Retaining and incentivizing Elon is crucial for Tesla to achieve its goals and become the most valuable company in history,” she wrote.
Furthermore, she reinforced her belief that he is the only person capable of leading the company during this critical phase.
The proposal arises amid a legal impasse over the 2018 compensation. At that time, a million-dollar package was struck down by a Delaware judge, who pointed out a lack of independence in the board and transparency issues with shareholders.
In response, Tesla moved its headquarters to Texas, but the appeal is still awaiting judgment in the State Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, at the beginning of 2025, Musk had already received a provisional package of US$ 29 billion in restricted stock.
This plan sought to ensure his continued presence at Tesla until 2030, reinforcing the company’s shift towards an AI-centered strategy.
If the new trillion-dollar package materializes, Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire. Today, according to Forbes, his fortune is estimated at US$ 415.6 billion, placing him well ahead of the second-placed Larry Ellison from Oracle.
The difference reaches US$ 144.7 billion, highlighting the gap between Musk and other global billionaires.
