In recent days, Musk has not ruled out the possibility of an eventual SpaceX-Tesla merger. Here’s the Journal:“Every $500 billion added to the deal price would deliver as many shares again, up to $7.5 trillion. An $8.5 trillion acquisition—more than six times Tesla’s recent market value—would deliver the pay package’s full 424 million shares. That is the number of shares that would have clinched the maximum $1 trillion stock award for Musk.” Apparently due to the recent issuance of new Tesla stock, the trillion-dollar pay package can never be a trillion-dollar pay package anymore.
