Meta is "betting on trillions" in the AI race. Meta has pegged the compensation of key executives to an ultra-aggressive target: a more than sixfold increase in market capitalization to over $9 trillion. The company has issued options (Zuckerberg is not included in the program), and payouts are only possible if the stock soars by tens or hundreds of percent: the "minimum" level requires almost +88% of the current price, and the maximum trigger is approximately $3,727 per share by February 2028.

At the same time, most participants are adding RSUs worth approximately $170 million.

Why this matters: The AI labor market is overheated, and Meta is signaling its willingness to retain its management team "Tesla-style"—with the price of success measured in trillions. This also raises expectations for the return on the enormous AI capital expenditures (data centers, chips, hiring).
