S&P Chiefs Averaged $22.8 Million Without Musk
Up 21 percent. Solomon $118.9 million. Mitra $821 million. 312 times the worker.

This is insane at Paywatch. S&P 500 chiefs averaged $22.8 million once they took Musk out, up 21 percent, while Goldman paid David Solomon $118.9 million and Welltower put Shankh Mitra at $821 million, 312 times the worker. You called Musk the outlier so the rest could look normal. That's the card. The chart still climbs. Do better than without Musk.
