Potential SpaceX-Tesla Merger Could Enhance Musk's Voting Control Without Meeting Pay Milestones
Elon Musk's compensation packages at SpaceX and Tesla include ambitious goals like establishing a Mars colony and deploying robotaxis. Discussions of a potential merger between the two companies could grant Musk greater voting control at Tesla without requiring him to meet these milestones. Experts note that SpaceX's compensation structure already provides Musk significant voting power upfront, potentially making the futuristic targets secondary to his control ambitions. The merger may also lead to restructuring of Musk's pay plans.
