Imagine if they had instead hired 500,000 people on $100,000 each. They could have bought the entire city of Detroit and had it making Teslas, instead they've got one coked up narcissist.
Musk is not getting billions worth salary. You can't hire 500,000 people using his package. Unless you believe that these workers should be eating shares instead of food.
You can offer shares to employees to supplement salary, its very common. It could be used to attract or retain staff by offering less salary but a larger overall package than their rivals and tie in the employees for a period of time till the shares vest.
Yeah, but not 500,000 of them.
Much more than one though.
