Tesla plans to pay Musk $1tn - do they really need him that much?
New Piece
A great leader is a huge asset for a company, of course, but can anyone be worth $1 trillion?
That is the pay packet Tesla shareholders have approved for Elon Musk, as long as he meets the targets they have set over the next 10 years.
In the meantime he won't collect a salary, but will presumably throw himself into his work with renewed vigour.
Musk has attracted an army of critics, upset that he sided with US President Donald Trump, wielding his chainsaw at government programmes, and wading into politics overseas with explicit support for the far right.
But he has an equally large following of admirers, people who believe in his vision and don't doubt that he can achieve it.
It seems most of his shareholders are in this camp, after they backed his new remuneration package this week.
