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.

Tesla reported quarterly revenue of $18.76 billion and so-called adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $5.02 billion.

“Board salary will be $0 if my bid succeeds, so that’s ~$3M/year (roughly Rs. 22 crore) saved right there,” Musk tweeted while replying to a user’s post criticising the Twitter board.

It would be very problematic if I was consuming billions of dollars a year in personal consumption, but that is not the case. In fact, I don’t even own a home right now. I’m literally staying at friends’ places.

Starlink, part of Elon Musk’s space company, aims to provide broadband to airlines as it pushes to reach business clients.
