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. Tesla shareholders have approved a staggering $1 trillion plan for CEO Elon Musk. But the payday isn’t guaranteed. 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.
The approval follows weeks of lobbying from Tesla’s board and retail investors, despite pushback from major institutional shareholders and governance advisers who called the plan excessive.
