The full compensation would only be delivered if Musk vaults the company from its present value of $1.1 trillion to $8.5 trillion, a figure that exceeds the current combined market values of Meta, Microsoft and Google-parent Alphabet, the filing says.

So he has to nearly 8x the value of a company that’s already massively overvalued? Yeeeaaahh, not holding my breath for this one.

Tesla bagholders rather than shareholders.
