Elon Musk BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Elon Musk has been everywhere these past few days with headlines blazing after Tesla shareholders voted overwhelmingly—more than seventy five percent—to approve his new one trillion dollar performance pay package at the November sixth Tesla annual meeting in Austin, as reported by GoElite and confirmed during Musk’s charismatic speech. This is history’s largest CEO pay plan and has Musk more deeply tethered to Tesla’s fate than ever, with milestones spanning twenty million EVs, ten million Full Self-Driving subscriptions, a million Optimus humanoid robots, and a million robotaxis over the coming decade. The colossal payout—all in Tesla stock—kicks in only if bold targets are met, culminating in an outrageous eight point five trillion dollar valuation for the company.
That meeting felt more like a tech rally than a corporate event, with Musk electrifying the stage and unveiling Tesla’s pivot from electric vehicles to an AI and robotics company first and foremost. The star was Optimus, Tesla’s humanlike robot. Musk called it “bigger than cell phones,” promising it would end poverty, revolutionize medicine, and provide “universal high income”—a new phrase meant to outdo universal basic income. The crowd went wild as he predicted Optimus production will jump to a million units in Fremont by 2026, ten million in Texas, with ambitions for a hundred million annually, maybe even a billion. “We might have to build the hundred million production line on Mars,” cracked Musk, who also said Neuralink may allow consciousness upload in about twenty years.
He also claimed Full Self-Driving is “effectively solved” with Version 14.3, soon allowing drivers to safely text or sleep on the road, and showed off Tesla’s new AI5 chip, supposedly fifty times faster than its predecessor and cheaper than Nvidia’s Blackwell. Tesla plans its own “Terafab” chip factory to blast past chip supply bottlenecks—a direct shot at rivals like Alphabet, whose massive forty billion dollar Texas AI investment left Musk claiming the world is “mind-blown” by compute spending, according to Benzinga.
Meanwhile, the billionaire space race heated up. Finance Magnates reports Musk’s rival, Jeff Bezos, just launched Blue Origin’s New Glenn to send NASA’s ESCAPADE probes to Mars, stealing some Mars thunder even as Musk congratulated Bezos publicly, according to the Economic Times.
Tesla’s #1 status and Musk’s wealth are now drawing street heat rather than just Twitter storms. Activist groups organized coordinated “No Trillionaires” protests at Tesla locations from California to Ohio on November fifteenth, with slogans blasting Musk’s swelling power and claims he’s “destroying democracy,” as seen on Action Network. And the tech rumor mill is buzzing after hints Tesla may finally support Apple CarPlay, ending Musk’s notorious resistance, though Times of India says that’s still unconfirmed.
Finally, Musk remains a social media lightning rod, trending as usual but now under a spotlight even brighter, as the world asks—is his moonshot vision steering us toward a future of universal prosperity, or simply making him history’s first trillionaire? The market, regulators, and Musk’s own audacious benchmarks will decide.
