Elon Musk earned the typical Tesla worker's annual pay every 4.23 seconds. The richest person in the world and CEO of tech and EV giant Tesla received $158.3 billion in compensation last year.
His pay was 2,522,203 times higher than the median Tesla's employee pay of $57,243 annually, according to an executive paywatch analysis from America's largest federation of labor unions, AFL-CIO.
During a typical 30-minute commute, he's already banked $24.36 million in compensation.
To put the inequality into context, while Musk is earning 2.5 million times more than his workforce, the average S&P CEO earns 312 times their workers.
Including Musk, S&P 500 leaders earned an average of around $340 million last year, a roughly 1,700% increase from 2024; but take him out of the equation, and the average CEO pay at S&P 500 companies increased 21% to $22.8 million last year.
