The Standard Podcast: Will Elon Musk become the world’s first trillionaire?

Is the world’s richest man about to become even richer? Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now in with a shot of becoming a trillionaire, after a record-breaking pay deal was approved by 75 per cent of his company’s shareholders. It would give him stock worth one trillion dollars, if he hits certain performance targets over the next decade, including delivering 20 million Tesla vehicles and one million robots. Ann Lipton, a law professor at the University of Colorado who specialises in corporate governance and securities regulation, is here with the latest. And in part two, The Standard’s Commissioning Editor and Culture Writer Vicky Jessop joins us to review last night’s finale of the hugely popular Celebrity Traitors TV show.
