It's not actual money, but shares that will be worth $1 trillion if he meets the stock price goal.
There's two reasons I can think of why Musk would want those shares. One is that it increases his control over the company. The other is that he can use them as collateral for very large loans.

Elon's robots will follow you round and stop you committing crime.
It's going to be a utopia.
Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison.
“If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.”

No reason to suspect corruption or conflicts of interest. None at all!

Cool, he wants to put Mecha Hitler in charge of people’s moral choices.

Likely just projecting. After all, a Roomba would steer him better than he does himself.

I watched a robot try to load a dishwasher the other day. They're going to be phenomenal at stopping people from committing crimes!

Yes, that's the one!

Good - I don't think there is a worse crime than loading the dishwasher in an inefficient manner!
I'm just afraid it would take away the final thing that I can claim I'm better at in the house.

Look at this 12-year-old writing a sci-fi story.

Maybe he can get an Optimus robot to follow him around in video games and put the smackdown on tutorial bosses.
