Elon met his actual CEO goals which were already near damn impossible, these were set in place by the board. And he met them during a pandemic. He is rewarded a tranche of shares as he meets certain quotas (so none of it is liquid). Like unlocking. more gear or items in a video game as you do better and progress (yes this is literally how his CEO salary is set up) The good thing is his wealth will undoubtedly be used towards his goal to further innovate the company. Alot of these are suspect as you mentioned. Musk is in charge of a world changing innovative company, and he's the only man for the job. Be glad if he becomes the wealthiest man in the world. Which I think will happen within the next 5 years.
I get everyone except Elon. Did he pick up some massive government contract or something???
