Following Tesla’s shareholder approval of Elon Musk’s record compensation package, multiple memecoins emerged on Solana, Ethereum and BNB Chain, with some seeing rapid surges before collapsing in exit scams.
Tesla’s board approved a $1 trillion compensation package for CEO Elon Musk, triggering a flood of new memecoins such as “TRILLIONS” and “Elon’s $1” on blockchains including Solana, Ethereum and BNB Chain. Some tokens saw gains of up to 190% and over $20 million in trading volume before losing all value due to exit scams. The trend mirrors past patterns where Musk-related events spur short-lived memecoin activity. Tesla shareholders supported the package with over 75% approval, granting Musk 12 tranches of Tesla stock if market cap milestones up to $8.5 trillion are achieved. The meeting also approved potential Tesla investment in xAI, reinforcing Musk’s interconnected ventures with crypto and AI.
