US EditionWho Is Going to Buy Elon Musk's Cars Now?
Tesla's proposed pay package for Elon Musk ties $1 trillion in shares to achieving a $8.5 trillion market value and key production milestones over 10 years.
- This month, Tesla's board proposed awarding Elon Musk shares worth $1 trillion if he raises Tesla's market value roughly seven-fold and meets ambitious milestones over 10 years, granted as performance-based equity tied to production and profit targets.
- To align incentives, the package ties Musk's pay to targets such as 10 million full‑self‑driving subscriptions, 1 million Optimus bots, and 1 million robotaxis, according to the proposal.
- The finance professor added skepticism about Musk's $1 trillion package, warning investors that `I tell my students, you can only bet on the end of the world once` and questioning payout timing.
- If milestones are met, the board expects the payoff to hinge on Musk generating gains that significantly benefit shareholders.
- Horstmeyer gave the example of efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency, while Tesla faces European sales declining over 55% and BYD surpassing Tesla in Europe earlier this year.
