WASHINGTON: Tesla Inc. proposed a new compensation agreement for Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk potentially worth around $1 trillion, a massive package without precedent in corporate America, Bloomberg reported.

The long-awaited proposal, designed to incentivise Musk to lead Tesla for years to come, sets a series of ambitious benchmarks he must meet to earn the full payout, including expanding Tesla’s nascent robotaxi business and growing the company’s market value to at least $8.5 trillion from about $1.1 trillion today. The plan spans 10 years.
