The world’s richest man just got the world’s biggest pay rise, with Tesla shareholders approving a $1 trillion package for Elon Musk over the next decade. As he accepted the deal, Musk danced on stage with Tesla’s humanoid robots – and thanked his supporters – saying he “super appreciated it”. But as the company’s stock is known to plummet when Musk intervenes in politics – questions remain about the damage his recent manoeuvrings will do to Tesla’s future. Today, power and tech reporter at The Guardian US Nick Robins-Early on what Musk has been up to since he left the White House – and how a trillion dollar pay packet will shape his next moves.
