Elon Musk Could Become World's First Trillionaire Through Tesla Shares
Elon Musk, currently the richest person globally, might become the world’s first trillionaire thanks to a new Tesla board-approved plan. This agreement could grant him Tesla shares valued at $1 trillion (£762 billion) if he achieves specific ambitious goals over the next ten years.
Shareholder Vote Approves Tesla Plan
After intense discussions about Musk's leadership and the unusually large pay package, over 75% of Tesla shareholders supported the plan during the company's annual meeting in Austin, Texas. Musk remarked:
“Fantastic group of shareholders. Hang on to your Tesla stock.”
Investor Confidence Despite Challenges
This vote signals continued investor trust in Musk, despite Tesla facing recent difficulties such as falling sales, shrinking market share, and declining profits. Many hold Musk partly responsible for these issues.
Challenges Affecting Tesla
- Decline in car sales, particularly in Europe
- Sales in Germany dropped by 50% last month
- Public reactions to Musk’s political involvement and online conspiracy theories
This shareholder approval comes shortly after new data revealed Tesla's sales slump in Europe continued to worsen.
Summary
Elon Musk's potential to become the first trillionaire reflects both shareholder support and the high stakes surrounding Tesla’s future amid current business challenges.
