Elon Musk's $45 Billion Pay Package

Tesla's board of directors and shareholders approved a pay package for Elon Musk, with the aim of increasing Tesla's market capitalization and revenue significantly. Musk would receive additional shares based on achieving set milestones to make Tesla a $650 billion company. Despite legal challenges due to perceived excessive control over Tesla, shareholders later reinstated Musk's pay package, possibly influenced by his charismatic leadership, potential impacts on Tesla's stock price, and the fear of losing him from the company.
