Trillionaire fantasies, investor dreams, reality nightmares
"To make Musk a trillionaire, over the next decade he must: Raise Tesla's market cap from $1.5 trillion to at least $8.5 trillion. At the time of writing, Nvidia, with a market cap of $4.8 trillion, is the world's most valuable company. Generate at least $400 billion in profits (presumably cumulative EBITDA or similar metric) over the target period of ten years. To put this into perspective, Tesla's total EBITDA from inception through 2025 is estimated to be just over $85 billion."
"Deliver a total of 20 million vehicles, which is more than double what it has historically produced. Sell a million "Optimus" humanoid robots. To date there are no production Optimus robots, let alone any walking around in the real world. Roll out at least a million commercially operational self-driving robotaxi units. Today, there are approximately 1,500 driving around Austin and the Bay Area."
Tesla shareholders approved a compensation package that could make Elon Musk the first trillionaire if a set of ambitious performance targets are achieved over the next decade. The targets include raising market capitalization from $1.5 trillion to at least $8.5 trillion, generating $400 billion in profits, delivering 20 million vehicles, selling one million Optimus robots, deploying one million robotaxi units, and securing 10 million FSD subscribers. Tesla's recent financials show slowing growth, declining profits, and rising costs. Prior record compensation of $56 billion has faced legal challenges, but even unsuccessful appeals would still yield tens of billions.
