US media: Musk may become a trillionaire highlighting the wealth gap in the United States

Elon Musk's trillion-dollar compensation plan as CEO of Tesla was approved by Tesla shareholders on the 6th, which may make him the world's first trillionaire as a result. This has once again sparked discussions in the American media about income inequality in American society. On the 6th, Tesla's annual shareholders' meeting approved Musk's 10-year compensation plan. This plan sets challenging milestone goals for Tesla's future development, and if Musk can achieve all 12 goals, he is expected to receive Tesla stock worth nearly $1 trillion as compensation. Just on the 4th, Eric Adams, who promised to improve people's lives, defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and won the New York City mayoral election. The New York Times said that these two events, Musk's trillion-dollar compensation and Adams winning the election, are a "split-screen display" of the wealth landscape in America, revealing a "larger-scale divide" in the American business and political worlds. On one side are billionaires like Musk and his supporters, who believe that it is worth celebrating when a few corporate executives receive massive wealth; on the other side are so-called progressive Democrats like Adams, who hope to provide social benefits to ordinary people by taxing the super-rich more.
