Could Elon Musk Be the World’s First Trillionaire?
Brief By deseret / 11:35 AM on 06 Sep 2025
Is Elon Musk a trillionaire? Not yet—but under a newly proposed Tesla compensation plan, he could become one. The board has suggested a pay package worth up to $1 trillion, contingent on achieving aggressive targets over the next decade, including growing Tesla’s valuation to $8.5 trillion, delivering 20 million vehicles, and rolling out 1 million robotaxis and humanoid robots .Should Musk meet these milestones—and shareholders approve the plan in November—he may well become the first trillionaire in history
