Tesla's board proposed a new compensation deal for CEO Elon Musk valued at about $1-trillion (R17.68-trillion).

Shares of the electric vehicle maker rose 2% in premarket trading after the news.

Tesla's board earlier this year approved an interim compensation package for Musk worth about $29bn (R512.79bn) in restricted stock, designed to keep him at the helm until at least 2030 as the company pivots to an artificial intelligence-first strategy.
