    Tesla has sold 7 million and something cars in total according to google. If each of those was 100k, that would still be less than a trillion in total. How could one guy get paid more than the whole company ever made?

      This is supposed to be paid out over time based on future performance milestones. Also based on projected increased value of shares as a result.

      Still insanely, insanely high though.

    But he needs 1 trillion dollars for his robot army so he can retain control of his robot army so nobody else can have control of his robot army so he alone can rule the entire world with his robot army.

    Dude is a literal supervillain.

      I’m just waiting for Musk to get his robots to learn how to feed off biomass and complete his transition to Ted Faro.

        Reading this while waiting for HFW to load is an eerie coincidence. I very much would prefer to enjoy the post-apocalyptic world from behind the safety of the fourth wall.

    This is moot. Musk has never met a milestone once, and if he doesn’t meet milestones, he gets jack shit.
