PANews reported on September 5th that Tesla's board of directors proposed a new compensation plan on Friday that would reward Musk with approximately $1 trillion if he achieves a series of challenging goals over the next decade. Under the plan, Musk will not receive any salary or bonuses. Instead, his compensation will vest in installments in the form of stock, unlocked upon achieving significant growth in Tesla's market capitalization, significant increases in profitability, and key milestones such as selling millions of vehicles. In a letter to investors, board chair Robyn Denholm stated, "Retaining and motivating Elon Musk is critical to Tesla's success in becoming the most valuable company in history. This compensation plan is designed to combine extraordinary long-term shareholder value with incentives to drive peak performance from our visionary leader." The board emphasized that Musk's incentives are highly aligned with investor interests. If Tesla's growth stagnates, he will receive nothing. However, such a massive compensation package is likely to reignite the heated debate over the income level of the world's richest man.PANews reported on September 5th that Tesla's board of directors proposed a new compensation plan on Friday that would reward Musk with approximately $1 trillion if he achieves a series of challenging goals over the next decade.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
