Elon Musk Could Become The First Trillionaire — Analysts Say New Pay Package Is A 'Good Deal'

Tesla’s board has proposed a new and massive compensation plan for Elon Musk that could make him the world’s first trillionaire.

Under the new compensation plan, Musk — who already has a net worth of $400 billion — could earn up to $900 billion if he stays on and hits all of his performance targets.

On This Day In 2008…

Panic gripped Wall Street as Lehman Brothers — a pillar of the investment banking world — saw its shares plummet by 45%. Hopes for a last-minute lifeline faded as talks with potential investors unraveled, raising serious doubts about the firm’s ability to survive. The broader market reacted sharply: the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 280 points, effectively erasing the previous day’s rally that had been fueled by the government’s takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. A week later, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy.
