A Thursday filing said Musk’s 2025 compensation was valued at nearly $158.4 billion, including more than $26 billion later forfeited, and put Tesla’s CEO-to-worker pay ratio at 2,522,203:1.
The shares were awarded under Musk’s reinstated 2018 pay package and must be exercised by mid-August, potentially lifting his Tesla stake to about 20.3% from roughly 207.5 million shares now held.
Tesla said the 10-year plan aims to keep Musk focused on the company as it pursues robots and self-driving vehicles, even as he has said he wants at least 25% control.
