  • Tesla proposes a $1tn pay package for Elon Musk if he meets ambitious targets over the next decade.
  • Musk would receive no salary or bonus; the package depends on Tesla's value increasing eightfold and achieving other major goals.
  • Targets include boosting Tesla's earnings 24-fold, deploying a million robotaxis, selling a million AI robots, and selling 12 million more Tesla cars.
  • Tesla's board urges investors to approve the package, citing Musk's importance to the company's growth and innovation.
  • The proposal follows a court ruling that struck down Musk's previous $50bn award for being unfair to shareholders.
  • Musk would receive shares in 12 tranches tied to market and operational milestones, starting with a $2tn market value.
  • Critics question the package's size, arguing Tesla has lost its edge and Musk's outside activities harm the company.
  • Tesla previously denied reports of seeking to replace Musk, despite concerns over his focus and Tesla's declining share price.
