Significantly yielding in terms of production to such giants of the automotive industry as Toyota Motor, Volkswagen, or General Motors, Tesla surpasses them in terms of capitalization. It is the most valuable car manufacturer in the world with a market capitalization of $ 700 billion. For comparison: the capitalization of Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, is $ 250 billion.
Each tranche gives Musk the opportunity to buy 8.4 million Tesla shares for $ 70 each. This is less than 10% of their current price. Based on the current price of $ 722 per share, Musk’s current remuneration is roughly $ 11 billion, and the sum of all six options already granted is close to $ 34 billion.
