His money ? It’s all going to mars !
Well-deserved!
Agreed
He’s a combination of Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein.
You forgot Steve jobs. Because he knows how to commercialize the products to make them asparational.
Literally said on Twitter that he’s making assets on earth to fund Mars.
i prefer planet neptune. thanks
@ice_wolfie2 why don’t you go do Neptune?
@信耶穌上天堂 a wut now?….
edit: un second thought i think mars will be ok.. thanks for the “advice” tho…
space ecnomoy is going to be huge and to some extent will bring almost neverending resuorces to all of us …. will it be enough ? we will see
Yahoo, it may be more fair to also mention, in a video with a title like this, that Elon does not accept salary AT ALL (for doing more working in 2 days than most of us do in 1 week), but he still pays taxes on the salary that he does not accept. He clearly does not do this job for money.
That sounded like the opposite of Trump while I was reading it. Not even trying to be a hater that’s just where my brain went.
Yeah avoids taxes and gets 25 billion in stock. Think bro
Ofc he doesn’t capital gains are taxed less than income anyways.
AANation360 paying low capital gains and avoiding taxes are not the same thing. He avoids taxes
Y’all know that the previous compensation package for Musk was for a 10 year period same as now, but Musk hit all of those targets within 5 years.
Keep up the good work Elon.
I see a much bigger market share for electric cars and Hybrids in the future.
But Solar and Windmills are not the only good power producing renewable energy sources.
Hydro and gas fired power plants can also play a part.
Coal is here to stay just in specialist applications.
And Fusion seems to be a goal that is just out of reach at the moment.
Agree, BEV has Growth Potential.
but, Legacy has to Invest in battery/drivetrain factory to get Price down.
Solar & Windmills easier to Build and Cheaper than Coal & Fuel Oil.
most Hydro in America is maxed out and is Large Capitol investment.
NOPE, Methane should only be Transitional. its a Greenhouse gas.
as Solar/Wind is Cheaper but takes time to build.
the key thing is adding battery storage along with Renewables , so you have Power all night long , Power for Peak times and when the Wind does not blow.
Fusion is only Theroetical.
Fission (nuclear) works, but has to be managed carefully.
Fission requires Large Capitol investment.
Modern Nuclear plants can Recycle spent fuel & Fissionable waste.
the Total amount of waste for a Waste Reactor can fit into a Shoebox.
Bonus + Bonus for Nuclear, you can Co-Locate Water Desalination and Hydrogen Production. Creating Clean drinking water from Sea Water and Hydrogen Fuel.
Good for him.
Happy for them.i think tesla could potentially have increamental growth n survive maybe 300 years… 400 max.if the 1st n 2nd n 3rd gen of employees work hard diligently.not a given.must work hard but 800.idk its hard for corpes to run companies.too constricted 🤣🤣🤣🤣 tesla will prosper300 years i think.i wouldn’t bet tho.cos i cant be there 300 years later to pay up.but tesla is amazing but800years …i am skeptical 😁
I think I am having a stroke
That shameless weasel with the slick hair was yucking it up a year ago when Tesla was struggling with the Model 3 production ramp. He was aggressively disparaging Elon and talking down TSLA. Elon proves him wrong and he acts like it was nothing, and that Elon’s completely at-risk compensation is somehow exorbitant. Absolutely pathetic how these “experts” pay no price for being so wrong.
I could tell he felt kinda silly admitting how good TSLA is doing. Humility was the price he paid and he owed it to himself.
Exactly! He deserves every penny
Why is Yahoo Finance the the default source on Apple Stocks app? It is so skewed towards short sellers and just regurgitates fake news. I hate it. I can’t change it.
Buy high, sell low😂
haha luckily you did meths in school
when China attacks we can all ride around in our Teslas which can’t do anything when the power goes out.
Sun isnt going out anytime soon,dumbo
@wanderer o to hell wit u den. when dose bombs drop I’m CHARGEin my Tesla with the SUN!!!
Knowing what we know of Elon, it’s more likely that he will massively reinvest into Tesla and SpaceX
He’s one of those few billionaires who actually use the money to do some good for humanity and for America.
Every haters should be ashamed because the man is actually on the path to create so many more jobs and help humanity on a whole new level.
These little turds. @0:39 – she says “He is behaving..(sarcastic tone)” Who the hell are they to judge his behavior and based on what benchmark?
Well I think to be fair Elon got himself in a lot of hot water with that 420 remark of funding secure. I am glad he was found innocent but they were trying to say he committed some kind of insider trading violation. He could have created a lot of trouble for himself and since he is basically the brand in a single person he could have brought trouble upon the company at large. Plus he caused himself to go on trial for that pedophilia remark but he was found innocent. The lesson is people will try to blow every little thing out of proportion and cause a lot of trouble. Most of his tweets are silly but there is always that stock analyst that freaks out over every little thing he does. He does not have to behave himself for anyone, they are not entitled to control his speech, but there are people who are always going to use what you say against you. His tweets are 99 percent usually good marketing for tesla
Musk was rich long time ago already,
I dont think he cares about money too much
,just about improving the world and making things better
Elon is Elon. He is on different level. He’s beyond extraordinary.
Where does he bank?
More money doesn’t mean anything to him. It gets to the point where you have so much money that life literally becomes a sandbox. You can do whatever you want, buy whatever you want, more money after that is meaningless when you can already have everything.
I better see him getting a lot richer than any investment bank or main huge banks
When the fed is just handing out money, people take it.
If it still walks, he would not sell cars anymore !
Did i say that’s his money by merit too soon ?
The level of reporting on this show is pathetic.
“Magically” getting billions of dollars of stock… yeah except Elon gets no salary and has to hit some pretty big targets. That’s balls.
He can take that bonus and subtract that debt.
Why stop at 650 billion? Because it’s a reasonable target for a 10 year timeframe based on the companies product roadmap. Honestly if Tesla isn’t worth between 550-700 billion in 2028 I’ll be shocked.
Clear path to 650B
the dude is merely babbling about how impressed he is with money and the woman is clearly jealous and clueless as to why it’s happening.
“He’s behaving”…that’s condescending AF~ You’re a host on TV, Elon’s changing the world.
No, he is not “changing the world.” A successful business man with healthy dose of hype built on a severely inflated stock price.
@Juggernaut Perhaps I should have used the word “influencing” and credit all the people that drive his success, this would be more accurate.
@Juggernaut “Inflated stock price.” Now it’s worth 5X more since you said that. The stock made me hundreds of thousands and I won’t sell till it makes me tens of millions in <10 years. He’s the most important person of our lifetime
I’m already around seven shares in TSLA stock, what if that dip never comes and it keeps trading sideways and upwards, is there anyone buying at the current prices $570?
If ur a long term investor, I think it’s still a buy!!!
“He’s behaving.” – a nobody
Elon = 🕺
Stop b*tching about the hes behaving comment, it was referencing to the pedo episode. Idolizing Elon is ok for me but dont be blind.
It wouldn’t be “given to him.” He will have earned it.
Yea the stock is totally not inflated ….
I urge & dare every CEOs and management to take the similar pay structure. See how quickly it clears the culture of the company more aligned with accountability and result-oriented. Elon is always attacked by the media but he is the only one who brings the real innovation to the society consistently that I can remember. He brings the price of the goods down. Just compare the price of rockets, underground tunnel, cars (with the similar options/benefits), banking service ….etc. Elon is not “chasing” record pay day. He deserves every cents he makes since the money is not coming out of consumer’s pocket, but from the oil companies, traditional auto companies ….etc. that relies on overpriced, under valued products , coupled with media manipulations & political intervention to force consumers keep buying their products.
And that folks is why yahoo is a dying brand.
everyone makes it as though Musk is “chasing” this payday when it’s clear he could care the least. he is focused on innovation at spacex and Tesla. it’s more like the money chases him
He could spend that easy if I could do it I’m sure he can.
This is one of the worst takes on Tesla I’ve seen..these guys have no knowledge at all
I like how they wrote tesla like “tsla”
WTF “he is behaving”he is a educated genius .
“He is behaving”
What the f*ck are you talking about?
He is just a cool guy who likes to be a little fun. Just let him be himself. He’ll do f*cking great!
He better put away some on his 401k plan 😉.
$100B? Just let that rest of your mind and visualize that amount of money. What does one do what that?
0:50
Actually, if i am not mistaken, about a half of his net worth is from SpaceX.
THIS BROKE 9 TO 5 IDIOTS ARE ASKING IF TESLA DESERVES IT. DID U TAKE SOME MARIJUANA BEFORE ASKING THAT RUBBISH QUESTION?
