The Tesla dilemma:

Fire Musk and Tesla gets valued for what they are, and stock will plummit.

Keep Musk and continue the downward trajectory where inevitably reality will catch up with the stock and it will plummit.

Short-term there's and argument for keeping Musk but long-term getting rid of him is likely better.

But there doesn't seem to be a way to avoid massive pain mid-term either way.

Is there any number where they couldn't make that argument though? Not plausibly of course - can't imagine Musk getting on a call "yeah I would have kept leading Tesla but they wouldn't give me $1T". $1T being literally more money than any person has ever had.

Isn't everything beyond a certain dollar amount so colossal that it's one of the most major financial decisions which require more due diligence than average, and if it's a record amount (even within a single org) way more diligence and careful consideration than that? Not necessarily a compensation package, but any huge outlay, over a number of years or not.

Isn't the ideal way to gauge where something big sits in the market, before making a giant leap?

Has anybody seen what other companies are offering Musk in case Tesla does not measure up?
