Tesla's board says that if Elon Musk increases the company's market cap to $8.5 trillion and meet operational targets, like deploying 1 million self-driving taxis within the next ten year, he will get a pay package worth nearly $1 trillion.

He met a previous target that qualified him for a $56 billion payout, the largest public executive compensation plan in history. But when he met his own side of the bargain, some shareholder rose up to say he was getting too much. Musk eventually settled for a $29B package.

Tesla is currently worth $1 trillion and Musk says he can make Tesla a $25 trillion company with its products.

For context, the most valuable company in the world today is NVIDIA at about $4 trillion.
