🚨 That headline is straight-up misleading clickbait
Elon Musk received $158 billion from Tesla last year.
That's double the entire U.S. Department of Education budget.

That’s incorrect. Tesla’s SEC filings show that figure is the grant-date fair value of unvested, performance-based stock awards.
Actual realized compensation for 2025 was $0 — no salary, no cash bonus — because the performance milestones weren’t met, so no payout.
This isn’t a paycheck; it’s skin in the game. Rewards only vest if Tesla creates massive value for shareholders. Comparing a paper accounting number to the Dept of Education budget? Peak propaganda
