4. Robyn Denholm

In November 2018, Denholm was chosen by Elon Musk to succeed him as chair of Tesla. Prior to her appointment, she was relatively unknown. She is the highest-paid chair of any public company in the United States.

Denholm joined Tesla’s board in 2014 as a director and chair of the audit committee, receiving approximately US$17 million in stock options during her tenure.

Denholm was appointed chair of Tesla in November 2018, following a settlement between Tesla, Elon Musk, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requiring Musk to step down from the role after his controversial 2018 tweet about taking Tesla private. By March 2025, she had reportedly received $682 million in cash and stock awards since joining Tesla and had sold approximately $532 million worth of stock. Denholm has faced scrutiny, including judicial criticism, over her independence as Chair, and the outsized compensation packages awarded to her and to Musk, which she has defended pointing out that Tesla’s market value increased substantially under their leadership.


So she knows where the bodies are buried and her and Musk scratch each others backs to keep the money flowing. Amazing how these grifters operate out in the open. Also she is Australian so if the shit hits the fan she wont be going to prison, at least not in the US.
