So let's talk about this specific pay package. I would be willing to bet a lot of money that he is never going to get a
00:00:05
trillion dollars. Having said that, Cara, I said the same thing 7 years ago that Tesla could never be worth more
00:00:12
than every automobile company combined and he would when it was a meme stock and he was on
00:00:17
the upswing, but it happened. Is it likely to happen? Highly unlikely. Was it likely he was
00:00:23
going to get to this point? Also highly unlikely. I think he's old. I think he's has some
00:00:28
personal problems. I think he's got some health problems. I think he can't come up with a new trick. I think, listen,
00:00:35
everyone's like, "Oh, if anyone he can." I'm like, "Can he now?" This is an number that's just beyond belief. Maybe
00:00:42
if he merged them all, I guess, and then pretended it was called Tesla. He needs
00:00:46
a new product is all I'm saying, and a new bit of energy in and of himself.
