IMO, Elon's already incentivized for that mkt cap gain. If he owns ~25% of TSLA, his net gain is about $600B (or 3 "Bezos"). Elon's 2018 CEO comp shares have to be held 5 yrs after vesting, and I expect TSLA to go to more like $6T by that time (Robotaxi realized). That's a net gain of $1.35T vs today's Mkt cap.
Elon has shown he is not motivated by money (he's selling his last California home, and lives in a $50K rental house in Boca Chica). Elon will use his TSLA weatlh to finance his dream of creating a colony on Mars. I expect that X.com will be a large part of his financial future, becoming a holding company for all his various businesses.
I also DO NOT expect Elon will ever sell his TSLA shares. Instead, I expect he will borrow against them at low margin rates, allowing their continued appreciation to outpace the slow increase in interest expense.
This is a future I find both exciting and compelling. But I don't think Elon needs more money to want it to succeed.
Cheers!
You make a half dozen insightful suggestions I agree with, Dodger.
That Wielkopolan79 dude is most likely a truck driver from Poland. He must have delivered some goodies and snapped those pics. I am glad he did.Several pics from inside Giga Berlin:

We know that Tesla and SpaceX have cross-pollinated beforeI'd bet the carbon-fiber expertise SpaceX has played a role here...The use of carbon fiber in the motor has got me wondering if Tesla will pursue more uses for it in their vehicles, namely the Roadster.
It would seem that a carbon fiber chassis could have way more pro's than con's. Assuming it can be made and recycled sustainably of course.
Also, it is interesting that we didn't come across a JD (Job Description) posting on Tesla for a materials engineer with carbon expertise. I wonder how many they have already?
While I don't think it is highly probable, I could see this as a discussion point for folks to ponder.
I don't think BMW is currently fully utilizing the carbon plan in Moses Lake, WA. I'd bet they could get it for cheap!
[CALLING KEEF....]2021 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks recalled because front wheels could fall off
A number of 2021 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickups are being recalled because the front wheel and tire assembly could detach from the truck.www.autoblog.com
I was gonna ask if they were in limp mode....Take it easy guys; I think those super cars were all broken. You know how those ICE cars require more maintenance.
Wow - if that’s true, General Motors should rebrand themselves as General Electric!Guys/Gals...i hate to break it to y'all but there's a new battery sheriff in town:
Despite pressure from investors, GM CEO insists the company is more valuable keeping its EV battery group
Keeping the unit within GM will create more value for the company than spinning it off, CEO Mary Barra said.www.cnbc.com

No, I think more like market is being stupid again. Money being diverted from TSLA and into F and GM is dead money. If this is true then even with a monster Q2-Q4 we might not go up much. But, all it does is leaving more upside for the future when F and GM begin to show signs of desperation while TSLA is still kicking ass.Does anyone feel like $TSLA is just artificially being held down and can break out at any time? Asking for a friend.......
You mean "General Mexico"Wow - if that’s true, General Motors should rebrand themselves as General Electric!
wait..
You mean like this announcement from 2018?No, I think more like market is being stupid again. Money being diverted from TSLA and into F and GM is dead money. If this is true then even with a monster Q2-Q4 we might not go up much. But, all it does is leaving more upside for the future when F and GM begin to show signs of desperation while TSLA is still kicking ass.
Market is too stupid to realize there's no room for F and GM to grow. The more money they "invest" in EV, the worse their 10-K is going to look. There's no upsides in growth or gross margin in store for them. Only downhill from here.
Agreed.....my only issue with $TSLA at these levels is that i have scoured the entire neighborhood radius of 50 blocks and gotten all the couches loose change.....i have resorted to going to furniture stores now since everywhere is open.Market is too stupid to realize there's no room for F and GM to grow. The more money they "invest" in EV, the worse their 10-K is going to look. There's no upsides in growth or gross margin in store for them. Only downhill from here.
