It is a $50B a year target for 12 years, so ya if he "pumped" up the stock by pretty much doubling the current market cap 2 full times over the next 4 years then he could "dump" it straight away. So the argument is that taking the company from ~50B to $650B would create such shareholder value that it would be worth it. It is actually tied to revenue and profit as well.

> Tesla has set a dozen targets, each $50 billion more than the next, starting at $100 billion, then $150 billion, then $200 billion and so on, all the way to a market value of $650 billion. In addition, the company has set a dozen revenue and adjusted profit goals. Mr. Musk would receive 1.68 million shares, or about 1 percent of the company, only after he reaches milestones for both.
