Musk's Tesla-SpaceX Merger Payday Could Hit $824B, Says WSJ
TSLA is trading near its 52-week low of $297.38 (12% above the low).
Summary
The Wall Street Journal reports that Elon Musk's 2024 compensation package could yield up to $824 billion if Tesla merges with SpaceX, based on a potential $8.5 trillion deal price and 424 million shares. Half of the operational milestones would be deemed satisfied in a merger, leaving market-value targets to determine the award. This follows months of merger speculation, but adds concrete numbers to the potential windfall. The report highlights the massive dilution risk for Tesla shareholders if the deal materializes. Ross Gerber called the scenario 'fantastical abundance,' underscoring the extraordinary scale of the potential payout.
