Elon Musk's 2025 compensation hit a staggering $158.3 billion, reports Fortune. This is ~2.52M times the median Tesla employee salary ($57.2K), meaning Musk earned a year's median pay in ~4 seconds! The huge payout came from performance-based stock grants tied to Tesla reaching $1T market cap. AFL-CIO notes Musk's package is ~14x the pay of all other S&P 500 CEOs combined. Excluding Musk, the average S&P 500 CEO made $22.8M (312x average US household income).
