Wondering that myself. Were they set aside back when the package was approved, or do they issue new shares. I would think he would exercise because the value of the is very large now. And they are vested. I think either way, he has to exercise over the next few years or so, or they’ll expire worthless.

Money was set aside to cover the package value but since the stock went way up I have no idea how that will work.
I the event of the pay package not being paid that money set aside could be paid as dividends.

If the court upheld the lower courts ruling. That backup package would’ve kicked in. Which would’ve hit them immediately financially but the shares would be less dilutive over time. Could be wrong though.

8.61%. He'll want to exercise those options this year. Won't be able to sell till 2030 but will need to at least borrow against the stock to cover the tax bill from this 12 figure income event.

It doesn't really matter if it was set aside or not. Ownership is calculated with outstanding shares and shares that were set aside aren't in that calculation. It's only publicly owned shares, not shares still in possession of the company

Dilution? If anything suckers will pump the stock up by 10% with belief that trillion pay package will happen as well.

EPS is usually based on fully diluted cap table. But Tesla doesn’t trade on EPS anyway so who cares

Can someone explain ELI5 why the man who says we wouldn’t need savings due to universal income? I’m still enjoying my Doge check.

Of course it’s dilutive. Any shareholder other than Elon owns 9% less of the company now.

By building the biggest bloody pyramid scheme in history. Bernie Madoff was fantastic till it wasn’t too.

He has been paid by Tesla. More than Tesla has made in revenue in its entire history. That seems problematic for running a good business

We are more likely to see 10% to 12% dilution.

If you add up all profits at Tesla to date it matches the $54bn pay package.
Why should Musk take all profits?

Because he has took none of the risk, that was for the suckers.
