The world’s richest man just got the world’s biggest pay rise, with Tesla shareholders approving a $1 trillion package for Elon Musk over the next decade.

Today, power and tech reporter at The Guardian US Nick Robins-Early on what Musk has been up to since he left the White House – and how a trillion dollar pay packet will shape his next moves.
