Tesla Shareholders Back Elon Musk’s Record $1 Trillion Pay Deal.

10 November 2025: Gugulethu Mfuphi from KayaBiz talked to Andrew Woodburn, Managing Director at Amrop Woodburn Mann about the largest executive pay package in corporate history.

To unlock the full amount, Musk must deliver massive growth: scaling production, reviving Tesla’s slowing EV sales, and turning futuristic projects like the robotaxi and Optimus robotics into commercial successes.
