    You can like him or you can dislike him, both are valid positions for various reasons.

    However the fact is, his huge compensation plan was at the time a wild shot that would only kick in if the company achieved certain performance metrics that were considered impossible. Under Elon, Tesla achieved all of them.

    Whether he is the right person for Tesla or not in this moment is immaterial IMHO. What matters is the performance. Contract was a King’s Ransom in exchange for an impossible miracle, and the miracle happened. So pay the man what he is owed.

    Fire him after that if he’s the wrong person to keep leading Tesla. But pay him what he is owed.
