Shareholders of Tesla, Inc. are gathering for their annual meeting in Austin, Texas, to vote on a proposed compensation package for CEO Elon Musk, which could potentially make him the world's first trillionaire. The package, filed in September, requires Musk to meet several operational and financial targets, including delivering 20 million Teslas over 10 years and increasing the company's market value. The vote has sparked heated debate, with major pension funds like CalPERS and Norway — Norges Bank opposing it due to concerns about excessive pay and board independence. Supporters, including Ronald S. Baron, argue Musk is indispensable. Elon Musk has threatened to leave Tesla, Inc. if the package is not approved. The Vatican City — Vatican City, through Pope Leo XVI, has also commented on the issue, highlighting income inequality.
