Elon Musk is again in the focus of technological news after Tesla’s proposal to offer a salary bonus 1 billion dollars To “motivate” the millionaire. While it is true that getting it will not be easy, that remuneration would be the key for Elon Musk to become the First billionaire in history.
Before such a figure, many (Even Pope Leo XIV) They consider it excessive. However, Tesla has a weight of weight to offer that figure: the car manufacturer is no longer the main origin of Elon Musk’s fortune, which can see more interesting to put aside Tesla and dedicate her efforts to obtain greater benefits with Spacex, XAI, Starlink or Neuralink.
A megaplan of 1 billion dollars. After Judicial cancellation of the 2018 Bono, valued at more than 56,000 million dollars (according to the value of the shares), Tesla has presented A new salary plan before the US stock and values commission.
To achieve such a fortune, the CEO must comply with a very demanding roadmap, which will be delivered in a staggered way as they are unlocking milestones over a decade. Most of these objectives now sound like science fiction, given the delicate Tesla’s commercial situationbut we must not undervalue Elon Musk’s ability.
For example, to meet the conditions of its salary bonus, Musk must make Tesla sell 20 million additional vehicles and that the company reaches a stock capitalization of 8.5 billion dollars, starting from the current valuation of around 1 billion. In addition, you must deploy one million of autonomous robotaxis and of the Optimus robots with integrated Grok, multiplying by 24 the current benefits of the company.
More tesla pastel. In reality, the remuneration of the salary bonus is carried out in the form of 423 million shares of Tesla, so that Elon Musk would expand its participation in Tesla from current 13% to 29%.
This would allow Elon Musk to have More influence and power of veto on the Board of Directors. However, I would also turn Tesla back into the main FElon Musk’s income. At present, Tesla represents about 140,000 million of the almost 471,000 million that Musk treasures, according to the Millionaire index of Forbes.
Tesla doesn’t shine as much as before. Such and as they highlight in CNBCalthough Tesla remains relevant in the proportion of Musk’s heritage, at this time the private companies of the millionaire are those that are experiencing a greater economic growththus winning greater prominence in his fortune.
Musk’s estimated participation in Spacex is 42% and is already worth more than 168,000 million dollars, especially after New SpaceX assessment in 400,000 million dollars in its last round of investments.
Up to the AI train. In addition, XAI Holdings, the artificial intelligence startup that “bought“The social network X, reached an assessment of 80,000 million in March 2025. After some Additional investments of Musk, his startup of AI has been revalued up to 113,000 million dollars, according to I pointed Forbes. HE esteem that in the next financing rounds the company of AI that Grok develops It could exceed 200,000 million, of which Elon Musk controls 50%.
Although in a minor average, Neuralink has also grown up to an assessment of 9,000 million dollars today, of which Elon Musk is a 51%holder. Together, the three main private companies in Musk would already exceed Tesla’s weight in the person’s fortune richer in the world. Tesla has put a price to become the gold mine that was: 1 billion dollars … if you get your goals, of course.
