Elon Musk threatens to leave Tesla over new pay package debate

In this story

Elon Musk, the lowest-paid S&P 500 CEO, pressures Tesla’s board for a larger stake amid discussions of new compensation options; Oz Sultan analyzes the implications.


Elon Musk was officially the lowest-paid CEO in the S&P 500 last year—earning zero salary and no stock. Now, Tesla’s board faces pressure as Musk demands a bigger stake or threatens to walk.

Oz Sultan joins to weigh the pros and cons of the boardroom drama.
