Tesla\u2019s board signed off on the compensation package in March 2018, when the company\u2019s market cap was just $52.46 billion. As of Monday afternoon, Tesla is the world\u2019s most valuable automaker with a valuation of over $385 billion.<\/p>\n<p>For his first three milestones, Musk received the option to buy 1.69 million Tesla shares at $350 a pop after each was certified. But following Tesla\u2019s 5-for-1 stock split in August he now gets to buy 8.44 million shares at $70 each. Tesla\u2019s stock is currently worth $413 a share.<\/p>\n<p>Musk still has eight years left to clear eight more valuation hurdles, mostly in $50 billion increments, which stand to fetch him roughly $5 billion each. If Tesla doesn\u2019t reach any other milestones, Musk will not receive any more money from Tesla.<\/p>\n<p>The South Africa-born billionaire does not take a salary from Tesla, and only earns money through performance-based rewards.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/26\/elon-musks-stock-based-pay-plan-just-earned-him-another-3-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Elon Musk\u2019s stock-based pay plan just earned him another $3 billion&#8221; Elon Musk doesn\u2019t earn a salary for running Tesla, but is getting rich quick nonetheless.
