How Much Should the World's Richest Man Get Paid?
Elon Musk was the lowest-paid chief executive of an S&P 500 company last year. Tesla TSLA -3.34%decrease; red down pointing triangle paid him $0. It has been that way for several years amid a legal battle over a monster stock award in 2018. A court has twice thrown out Musk's pay package—calling the process of creating it flawed despite two votes of support from shareholders.

'He Just Greenlit Elon's AI Takeover': Wall Street Icon Says Trump's New Order Quietly Empowers Musk's Rise in the Machine Economy
BALTIMORE, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta believes the most important AI story in America isn't happening inside a government lab or Silicon Valley headquarters… It's happening inside Tesla. Abeyta explains in his recent briefing, that thanks to a recent executive order from President Trump, Elon Musk now has a green light to deploy it — at national scale. 'Trump just cut the red tape,' says Abeyta. 'And Musk is the one most ready to move.' Trump Signs. Musk Accelerates. Dojo — Tesla's in-house AI training system — is now one of the fastest-developing AI platforms in the world. Built from scratch after Nvidia chip shortages, it's already outperforming commercial processors by a factor of six. Fueled by Tesla's real-time video data — 160 billion frames a day — Dojo doesn't just train AI. It teaches machines how to operate independently in the real world. By June 1st, Tesla will roll out its first robotaxi — with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no driver. The Executive Order That Changed the Game Last month, President Trump signed 'Removing Barriers to American AI Innovation,' a sweeping order to clear federal restrictions on domestic AI development. Within days, companies aligned with Dojo's architecture were reportedly 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration.' Abeyta sees this as the true start of the machine economy — where AI no longer waits for approval, and real-world deployment becomes the new battleground. 'Musk is deploying physical AI faster than anyone,' he says. 'And Trump just gave him the air cover to do it without interference.' Musk Has the Tech. Trump Cleared the Map. What we're witnessing, Abeyta says, isn't a partnership — it's a convergence. Musk built the system. Trump removed the guardrails. And now, for the first time, a private company is building the command layer for how machines see, move, and act in physical space — at scale. About Enrique Abeyta Enrique Abeyta is a former hedge fund manager who spent over two decades tracking capital flows and strategic realignments across markets and government. After managing nearly $4 billion in institutional capital, he now leads Breaking Profits, a research outfit focused on the systems, people, and policies quietly reshaping the future of America's economic landscape.

Musk Builds It. Trump Unleashes It. Wall Street Legend Says Dojo Is the First Real Test of the America First AI Doctrine
WASHINGTON, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — What if the most powerful AI system in the world wasn't built in a lab… but in a car factory? And what if the U.S. government was already positioning it as a strategic national advantage? According to former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta's recent briefing, that's exactly what's happening with Dojo, Elon Musk's custom-built AI training platform — a system now directly aligned with President Trump's push to eliminate barriers for American AI innovation. 'Musk didn't wait for permission. Trump just made it legal to move even faster,' Abeyta says. The Private Project With a Public Mandate Dojo was born when Musk hit a wall with Nvidia's chip supply chain. Instead of waiting, he built his own chip — one now said to be 6x more powerful than Nvidia's most popular processor. Fueled by 160 billion frames of visual data daily from Tesla's fleet, Dojo is training itself to operate in the physical world — with no human in the loop. On June 1st, Musk is expected to deploy it at scale with Tesla's first robotaxi: no wheel, no pedals, no driver. Trump Clears the Runway Last month, President Trump signed an executive order titled 'Removing Barriers to American AI Innovation.' The goal: fast-track domestic AI systems that can compete globally — especially against China. Dojo fits the criteria. One of Musk's key infrastructure partners is now 'expecting to receive billions of dollars' in federal support tied to the initiative. This isn't just a Tesla story anymore — it's a White House-backed acceleration plan for real-world AI control. Enrique's Take: 'This Is What Strategic AI Looks Like' Abeyta believes we're now seeing the merger of visionary tech with presidential willpower — a rare alignment where speed, sovereignty, and national competitiveness all converge. 'Most companies are still talking. Musk is already deploying. And Trump is clearing every legal obstacle in his path,' Abeyta adds.
