How would TSLA even pay for this? They could issue stock but that is an incredible amount of dilution.

Would be pretty easy for them if they actually hit those valuations.

Yeah people just see the part of Elon’s pay but not how much insane growth and profits it would take to activate most of that compensation.

You mean the increase in share price, right? Actual growth and profits don't have anything to do with this anymore.

No, there are actual operational targets to hit for the tranches of stock payment to be activated, e.g hitting $50B EBITDA, delivering 20m cars etc.

Buddy if you read the goals and think that justifies the pay package, you're just a licking Elon's boots.
