This is supposed to be paid out over time based on future performance milestones. Also based on projected increased value of shares as a result.

Still insanely, insanely high though.

Based on his performance or Telsa workers performance?

But undeniably worth it if you're a tesla shareholder.

It's like your financial adviser saying "I'll make you a billionaire in 5 years, and if I do your bill will be $1mil. If I don't, don't pay me anything, and you've lost nothing" - why would anyone have an issue with that?

Because it's an incentive to make money, not an incentive to be a good corporation making good products and services.
