If Elon wants to have his compensation package reinstituted, perhaps he should offer this.
With each car purchased he gives five shares of Tesla stock to the buyer. Limit it to the first million takers or perhaps until the model 2 is released?
Clearly this would result in an increase in sales. Would it be sufficient? Should it be limited to the US?
Secondly it would cause consumer buy in as to the company. Now they've got skin in the game. They'll watch the company closely, probably speak more positively about it. It might even cause them to refer people more than the current system does.
Thirdly, it will turn public opinion back towards Elon. This isn't just something to feed his ego, it is critically tied to the success of the company, and its value.
Not sure what regulatory hurdles would have to be cleared, nor the administrative cost of such a thing. It's only about 1% of the compensation package, so not really costing him much. Particularly considering the increase in value to the company that it would generate, thus returning everything he spent on it. Then there's the wonderful publicity that I am certain he would appreciate.
Are the odds of this happening above zero?
