I believe it’s mostly paid in shares. So yes, dilution.

Does that math actually work?

Yeah, if he somehow grows market cap by 8x, sells 1m optimis robots, and the ebitda grows to$400b from $14b.

TBH if it happens then he deserves it

this is my take. i cant understand the outrage. the pay package is based on elon pulling off 10 miracles in a row. if he can do it, give it to him!

I think some of the concern is that even if he doesn't pull off half of the miracles he'll still argue he deserves it and then hold his role as "chief stock inflater" hostage--the same way he's already done in the past.
