Those were lowball milestones. He actually has to generate real money this time.

Quit rewriting history, those were absolutely not lowball milestones.

If Mr. Musk were somehow to increase the value of Tesla to $650 billion — a figure many experts would contend is laughably impossible and would make Tesla one of the five largest companies in the United States, based on current valuations — his stock award could be worth as much as $55 billion

That is a quote from this contemporary article: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/teslas-pay-deal-to-keep-elon-musk-all-or-nothing.html

They were absurd milestones at the time, which nobody thought he could hit in his wildest dreams.
