Part 2/11:
Historically, Musk’s incentives have been tied to Tesla’s stock price, which created a paradox: the more value he generated, the less control he might have, especially if the stock doubled or tripled before new compensation could be triggered. Now, with the new package overwhelmingly approved—supported even by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen—Elon Musk has greater control and financial motivation to accelerate Tesla’s innovations.
This alignment means Musk can pursue bold projects without the usual concern of diluting his influence or waiting for payoffs to materialize. It’s a strategic move that benefits both Musk and Tesla, and it hints at numerous upcoming breakthroughs—possibly multiple "rabbits" being pulled out of his hat in rapid succession.
