Description

Elon Musk has just shattered another record, not for rockets or robots, but for pay.

Tesla shareholders have approved a jaw-dropping compensation deal worth nearly US$1 trillion, the largest in corporate history.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr. Holly Yang, Associate Professor of Accounting; Co-Director (Academic Research), School of Accountancy Research (SOAR); Lee Kong Chian Fellow, Singapore Management University, to unpack all of this.
