So dumb, they could save a trillion dollars and up there sales with one easy trick…
That’s not how it works…
They create new shares which dilutes everyone. The shareholders are paying Elon.
To get a trillion dollars they’d need to sell 68% of the company to someone else today, or over 10% of the company at the planned end goal of the compensation plan.
Giving that % of the company to someone else would have a real impact on how the company is run, and who even has that much money to buy into Tesla other than other bad large companies / private equity.
Edit: also, they’re flush with cash as it is already. They’ve claimed for years they can’t spend it any faster without being wasteful. They got somethings like 45b in the bank.
