Rivian has given its founder and CEO RJ Scaringe a new performance-based stock award that could ultimately be worth around $5 billion if all the underlying goals are met, according to a new filing. Scaringe’s salary is also being doubled to $2 million per year, and he was given a 10% stake in Rivian’s newest spinout Mind Robotics, the filing shows.

Now, AI data centers are popping up across the U.S., pulling power like steel mills and refineries used to. They run nonstop. They’re massive. And they’re growing faster than most local utilities can manage. In 2023, data centers accounted for approximately 4.4% of the electricity in the…
