"Elon Musk Criticizes Lucid CEO's $379 Million Pay: Linking Compensation to Performance is Crucial"

Lucid Motors CEO Peter Rawlinson has faced criticism from Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, for his $379 million annual compensation package, making him the highest-paid executive in the automotive industry. Rawlinson's pay includes a base salary of $575,000, stock options worth $5.5 million, and $373 million in stock awards. While Rawlinson's compensation is tied to market-cap targets, Musk argues that it is not linked to performance, citing Lucid's stock decline of over 82% in 2022 and low revenue. Rawlinson's pay is significantly higher than that of his peers, including GM's Mary Barra and Ford's Jim Farley, as well as CEOs of other EV startups like Rivian Automotive. Musk, on the other hand, did not receive any direct compensation from Tesla in 2022 but has faced criticism for his $23 billion bonus in 2021.
