The salary of the world's richest man, Elon Musk, has once again come into the spotlight with new decisions at Tesla.

Tesla's board has formed a special committee to reassess Musk's salary. Last year, Musk held the title of the lowest-paid CEO in the U.S. So, how much should Musk be paid?

CEO salaries vary from company to company. For instance, Axon CEO Rick Smith received the highest salary with a stock worth 165 million dollars. How Musk's salary structure will be is a matter of curiosity.

Three different payment models have been proposed for Musk. These include the "play big, win big" model, paying like a CEO, and the "everyone like" payment model.

Tesla's new salary plan will shape not only Musk's payment but also the company's future leadership approach. A critical question for the board is: How and how much should Musk be paid?

Recent protests at Tesla stores indicate growing discontent towards Musk. This situation is damaging Tesla's brand value.
