When I wrote that the Model Y might represent “peak Tesla,” I was asking if the company’s miracle moment had already passed.
But Tesla’s board clearly thinks otherwise. Their latest compensation proposal for Elon Musk ties his future to a staggering $8.5 trillion valuation target—more than twice today’s most valuable company.
The payout? A potential $1 trillion package—if Musk can deliver Mars-shot milestones like:
🔹 20 million cars a year
🔹 1 million robotaxis
🔹 1 million humanoid robots
Is this bold vision the path to Tesla becoming the world’s first $8.5 trillion company—or an ambition too far, even for Elon Musk?
I take a deeper dive into this high-stakes bet in my latest TaaSMaster LinkedIn Newsletter.
