Elon Musk’s salary was 5,745 times more than that of the head of Ford

However, the head of Tesla did not receive a penny for 2025 due to non-fulfillment of the contract, Carscoops reports.

According to Tesla’s new filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Elon Musk’s compensation for 2025 is estimated at $158 billion. This is 5,745 times more than Ford CEO Jim Farley’s earnings ($27.5 million), 392 times more than the payments to the head of Rivian and 3.3 times the entire market capitalization of Ford.

However, in reality, Musk did not receive a penny of this amount. The thing is, $158 billion is just the estimated value of the options he could have earned if Tesla had met its targets.

But no key milestones of his 10-year, $1 trillion compensation package approved by shareholders have been reached in 2025.

To ever get this money, Musk needs to achieve 12 ambitious goals over the next decade: increase total car deliveries to 20 million, launch 1 million cyber taxis, deliver 1 million Optimus humanoid robots.

Thus, Elon Musk remains the nominal record holder for salary in the auto industry, but his real income from Tesla in 2025 is still zero.
