Elon Musk's $1 trillion compensation plan at Tesla (TSLA.O) eliminates a huge lingering issue - that the company's top executive might leave to develop AI products elsewhere. While the $1 trillion headline value is shocking, Truist analysts said in a research report that the compensation plan is more about ensuring Musk's leadership position and influence through voting control. We believe Musk's new compensation plan is highly aligned with equity interests because it will only be granted if the company achieves consistently higher market valuations and a series of operational goals, the analysts wrote. We note that if all of Musk's rewards were granted in stock, the price could be 384% higher than today.
