I just listened to Rob Mauer from Tesla Daily and he talked about some hidden revenue sources from Tesla. Some of these are not obvious unless you dive into Tesla's 10-Q filing and look. Let's see what he's talking about.
Elon Musk compensation now 1% of sales instead of 3%
There is about $500 million dollars left in Elon Musk's CEO compensation plan of the about $2.3 billion total. That's just over 20% of the entire package and the average quarterly recognition and cost to Tesla is going to be significantly down in Q3 and Q4 of 2021.
The majority of Elon Musk's compensation plan was realized in 2020. The question is, won't there be a new CEO compensation plan once this one ends? I agree with Rob and hope there will be. It has rewarded investors just like Elon Musk has been rewarded and could likely build Tesla into a multi trillion organization. Elon Musk only gets rewarded if Tesla grows to a point shareholders are equally rewarded.
