Tesla is awarding CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares of restricted stock valued at approximately $29 billion, just six months after a judge ordered the company to revoke his massive pay package.
The electric vehicle maker said in a regulatory filing on Monday that Musk must first pay Tesla $23.34 per share of restricted stock that vests, which is equal to the exercise price per share of the 2018 pay package that was awarded to the company’s CEO.
As a Tesla owner I’d say that’s a good idea. After getting a Tesla it’s very difficult to move to an inferior model and due to obvious reasons I’d love to. So far everything else I’ve tried sucks in various subtle ways – usually in the way that the other manufacturers are obviously trying to make their EVs feel like legacy petrol cars instead of doing everything better like Tesla did.
It just feels incredibly awkward after getting used to a Tesla.
Perhaps Polestars will be good. I haven’t test driven those yet.
Tesla is trying to be the apple of cars and that’s good for initial sales but bad for literally everything else in the long run. These are supposed to be greener options but that conflicts with tesla’s approach
