Part 2/13:
Elon Musk's proposed $1 trillion compensation package is arguably one of the most consequential aspects of this meeting. This package aligns with Musk's role in generating considerable shareholder value — with Tesla's market cap increasing approximately 600% since the last valuation, reaching around $8.5 trillion. Investing in Musk in this context appears justified: would you pay someone 15% for a 600% return? Most would answer yes, emphasizing the perceived fairness in rewarding exceptional performance.
