So let's talk about this specific pay
00:00:01
package. I would be willing to bet a lot
00:00:04
of money that he is never going to get a
00:00:05
trillion dollars. Having said that,
00:00:07
Cara, I said the same thing 7 years ago
00:00:10
that Tesla could never be worth more
00:00:12
than every automobile company combined
00:00:14
and he would
00:00:15
when it was a meme stock and he was on
00:00:17
the upswing,
00:00:18
but it happened. Is it likely to happen?
00:00:20
Highly unlikely. Was it likely he was
00:00:23
going to get to this point? Also highly
00:00:25
unlikely.
00:00:25
I think he's old. I think he's has some
00:00:28
personal problems. I think he's got some
00:00:30
health problems. I think he can't come
00:00:32
up with a new trick. I think, listen,
00:00:35
everyone's like, "Oh, if anyone he can."
00:00:37
I'm like, "Can he now?" This is an
00:00:39
number that's just beyond belief. Maybe
00:00:42
if he merged them all, I guess, and then
00:00:44
pretended it was called Tesla. He needs
00:00:46
a new product is all I'm saying, and a
00:00:48
new bit of energy in and of himself.
