On April 28, SpaceX is set to tie Elon Musk’s compensation to key targets including Mars colonization and space-based data centers. Under the plan, Musk will earn a substantial equity incentive if the company hits three milestones: a $7.5 trillion valuation, a million-person Mars settlement, and large-scale orbital computing capabilities.
