Quick Facts on Musk's 2025 Pay Package + "Change of Control":
1. No auto full payout. Change of control disregards ops milestones but only uses Tesla's pre-deal share count × deal price (or recent close). No magic combined SpaceX+Tesla valuation.
2. Unearned tranches = forfeited. Only already-met (or newly-met) market cap thresholds count. The rest of the 12 tranches vanish — no free $1T ride.
3. Market cap still required. Must hit the sustained thresholds (up to $8.5T) based on the transaction. Rumors or hype don't unlock everything.
4. Long-term service still applies. Musk must stay in role for years of vesting. Deal doesn't waive the 7.5–10 year retention.
5. Shareholders already approved this. It's standard M&A protection language (same idea as 2018 package). Not a secret loophole — board certifies, and dilution/governance fights remain huge.
The Electrek spin overstates it. No bypass jackpot.

@jronald Seeing a pattern here....
All that feedback I put on there was for nought. There was great feedback there, but you didn't want to implement the best of it. Is this time any different?
@GeringerAdam Yeah, need a rodman staking bot to set nails, corners & stakes. Would work in tandem with a robotic total station. Tried getting Grok to make a pitch. He can get you started with your idea.
