Elon asked for $50 billion in pay. Tesla's TOTAL lifetime earnings as a company is $35.2 billion. $10 billion of that is selling 'credits'. $600 million of that was Bitcoin gains.

Tesla is a 'battery company' but at Gigafactory Panasonic makes batteries on Panasonic owned/operated lines that just lease space from Tesla.

Yet somehow this is a 'real' company.
