Tesla Inc. tallied up Elon Musk’s annual compensation for the first time since shareholders approved his moonshot pay package, and it’s a doozy: $158 billion.
The 2025 total was revealed in a regulatory filing late last week, about six months after investors signed off on a $1-trillion stock award for the electric vehicle maker’s longtime chief executive.
The staggering figure is exceptional even in the context of increasingly large packages for executives seen as visionary and essential to the success of the companies they lead. Musk turned Tesla into the EV market leader — and became the world’s richest person in the process — though the manufacturer has struggled of late with rising competition out of China and a relatively stagnant product lineup.
The billionaire recently has turned his attention to other parts of his business empire, particularly the rocket maker SpaceX, which is attempting to stage the biggest initial public offering of all time in June. Thursday’s filing offered new insight into the overlap between his companies, revealing that Tesla generated more than half a billion dollars in revenue last year from selling products to other Musk-run companies.
