That compensation package comes with very steep performance requirements. There are twelve separate performance milestones, including Tesla's market capitalization growing to $8.5 trillion and delivering 20 million vehicles. He must also meet product-specific goals, such as 10 million active "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) subscriptions, 1 million "Optimus" robots delivered, and 1 million robotaxis in operation. These goal…

On the one hand, maybe it’s just how crazy our economy feels lately but I don’t conceptually have a problem with, if you sell a 100 million cars for 50k each, and keep 10k for yourself, you should get a trillion dollars. Innovation and providing a product people want should be rewarded. On the other hand, I do have a problem with: * market manipulation to get that valuation. * using that money to manipulate the gover…

So I'll admit up front I don't know a lot about investing, but I at least understand a decent amount about business fundamentals. What I can't understand is why Tesla's stock hasn't tanked yet.

Tesla? Nothing that I know of. Not even getting the President to promote Tesla cars while Musk was working in DOGE, though that was dodgy for other reasons. Musk? Looks to me like buying government influence, using it to halt investigations against his own companies: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/doge-could-help-...
