According to Fortune, an analysis of executive compensation by the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) shows that Elon Musk's total compensation from Tesla in 2025, calculated based on the fair value on the date of restricted stock grants, is approximately $158.3 billion, which is about 2.52 million times the median annual salary of Tesla employees at $57,243. Based on this calculation, Musk earns compensation equivalent to a Tesla employee's annual salary approximately every 4.23 seconds.The AFL-CIO stated that Musk's 2025 compensation package is at a "historic level" that has been "unprecedented" since it began tracking CEO compensation in 1997. His compensation is about 14 times the total compensation of all other S&P 500 company CEOs, while the average CEO compensation in the S&P 500 is approximately 312 times that of employees.It is important to note that the $158.3 billion is not the actual cash Musk will receive that year, but rather the fair value calculated based on the restricted stock granted by Tesla in 2025 on the grant date. This batch of stock could ultimately be worth up to $1 trillion, provided that Tesla meets the corresponding performance requirements.

According to Cryptopolitan, cybersecurity company Malwarebytes discovered that a user on a cybercrime forum is selling a "scam toolkit" for $500, which can set up a fake $TSLA token presale website with almost no technical background required.The scam process is as follows: after visitors enter an X username, the page displays their real avatar to create the illusion of a "targeted invitation," combined with a countdown and price increase warnings to create a sense of urgency. If victims choose the "15% reward link wallet" option, they will be asked to enter a 12-word recovery phrase, resulting in their wallet being emptied; if they choose to "invest" directly, they must send cryptocurrency assets to an address controlled by the scammers, and then see a fabricated balance on a fake dashboard. The toolkit's control panel allows operators to track victims in real-time, collect recovery phrases, and check wallet balances in advance to decide whether to strike. Malwarebytes discovered this toolkit on May 16, and recently IRS and Ledger users have also encountered similar phishing attacks.
