Elon Musk has secured what may be the largest compensation package in corporate history. The Elon Musk payday is a staggering $1 trillion after Tesla shareholders overwhelmingly voted in favor of the deal at the company’s annual meeting in Texas.
Musk has long been one of the world’s richest men.
As the vote tally confirmed approval of the record-breaking package, Musk appeared on stage at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin to thunderous applause from investors.
He was paid the historic amount despite a turbulent year marked by slumping sales, staff layoffs, and a volatile stock price. Musk walked away smiling and dancing with two humanoid robots at his side.

The scene quickly turned surreal as Musk pumped his fists to pounding techno beats, joined by two “Optimus” robots performing a synchronized routine under blue and purple strobe lights.
“With AI and robotics, you can actually increase the global economy by a factor of 10 or 100,” Musk declared, blending futurism and business strategy in a single breath.
