Elon Musk's compensation package at Tesla reached $158.4 billion for 2025, according to a regulatory filing. The pay is tied to meeting company performance targets, including achieving $2 trillion in market capitalization and delivering 20 million cars.
The package was approved by shareholders last year as a way to motivate Musk to spend time at the electric-vehicle maker. Musk is also Tesla's biggest shareholder and a key figure in the company's sky-high valuation.
Tesla is currently valued more highly than about a dozen other carmakers combined, with a market capitalization of $1.2 trillion. The company's goals for the next 10 years include delivering one million robotaxis and selling one million humanoid robots.
