Elon Musk Weighs In On CEO Pay Again — Now, Takes Aim At GM's Mary Barra's Salary
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc, has criticized the compensation of General Motors Co. CEO Mary Barra, suggesting it should be proportionate to success. This follows a similar comment about Lucid Group Inc. CEO Peter Rawlinson's salary. Musk's comments were in response to a social media user who claimed Barra has created no value for GM's shareholders. GM's shares have dropped 3.7% year-to-date. Musk, who took no salary in 2022, holds shares in Tesla and options that grant him the right to purchase more at a fraction of the price if the company hits particular financial targets.
