The world’s richest man just got a little richer.Elon Musk’s first installment of his moonshot compensation package at Tesla came in at $158.4 billion for 2025, according to a regulatory filing Thursday.The pay package was part of a stratospheric new compensation plan approved by shareholders last year as a way to motivate Tesla’s chief executive to spend time at the electric-vehicle maker.
Musk may not make the full amount reported, however, because his compensation is tied to meeting company performance targets.
