With Tesla's strong quarterly report on Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk has scored a hat trick of performance goals worth a combined $23 billion in new compensation.
The world's most valuable automaker posted March quarter revenue and profit that surged past Wall Street estimates as it raised prices in response to inflation, offsetting the impact of a Shanghai factory shutdown.
Musk's latest compensation windfall, which must be certified by Tesla's board, comes days after he offered to buy Twitter for $43 billion, with analysts suggesting he could sell Tesla shares to help finance the deal.
Musk already is the world's richest person, according to Forbes.
