With $1 trillion pay package on the line, Elon Musk blasts influential firms telling shareholders to reject it: 'Those guys are corporate terrorists' | Fortune

After months of being relatively quiet following his resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency and subsequent fallout with President Donald Trump, Musk slammed proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis. "I just don't feel comfortable building a robot army here and then being ousted because of some asinine recommendations from ISS and Glass Lewis, who have no freaking clue," Musk said. "I mean, those guys are corporate terrorists."

Tesla (TSLA) Q3 2025 earnings results

In order to unlock the full amount of shares proposed in this compensation plan, Tesla's value would need to increase dramatically to $8.5 trillion. As Tesla's proxy statement points out, that would make Tesla roughly 2x as valuable as the most valuable company in the world (Nvidia) today. Arguably, growing Tesla's value to double the value of Nvidia would justify paying Musk something like double the compensation of Nvidia's CEO.

Because after another turbulent morning of closely following the rough-and-tumble contest to become the next NASA administrator, I sure could use one. What has happened now? Why, it was only SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who is NASA's most important contractor, referring to the interim head of the space agency, Sean Duffy, as "Sean Dummy," and suggesting he was trying to kill NASA. Musk later added, "The person responsible for America's space program can't have a 2 digit IQ."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package hits first adversity from proxy firm

The pay package aims to lock in Musk to the CEO role at Tesla for the next decade, as it will only be paid in full if he is able to unlock each tranche based on company growth, which will reward shareholders. However, the sum is incredibly large and would give Musk the ability to become the first trillionaire in history, based on his holdings. This is precisely why ISS is advising shareholders to vote against the pay plan.
