If successful, the plan would increase Musk's voting power, spotlighting Tesla's reliance on him amid challenges like slowing EV demand and rising competition.

Tesla's board is making headlines with an extraordinary $1 trillion compensation plan for its CEO, Elon Musk. This proposal highlights Musk's dominant role within the electric vehicle giant as the company pivots towards robotaxis and humanoid robots.

The ambitious plan entails boosting Tesla's valuation by nearly 800%, equating to around $7.5 trillion in the next decade. Full realization of the plan would amplify Musk's current stake and voting power, stirring debates on governance and business succession.
