Tesla and electric vehicle demand: Former Ford CEO Mark Fields
Mark Fields, former Ford president and CEO, joins "Squawk on the Street" to discuss Tesla's performance in the market and demand for electric vehicles.
Tesla reached a $100 billion market cap for the first time at the beginning of trading Wednesday, setting CEO Elon Musk up for a large payout.
Tesla’s stock was up more than 7% Wednesday, pushing its market cap above $106 billion. It’s market cap opened at $103.12 billion.
The gains could send CEO Elon Musk home with a tidy payout. In 2018, Tesla’s board and shareholders authorized a compensation plan for Musk, allowing him to earn options worth potentially more than $55 billion over the next decade. Musk would earn the first tranche of at least $346 million in options if Tesla’s market capitalization hits and stays at $100 billion.
Musk currently draws no salary, although he owns around 20% of the company.
To earn the payout, the company must keep its market cap above $100 billion long enough to sustain that level on both a 30-day and six-month trailing average, according to a regulatory filing. The company must also hit annual revenue or EBITDA milestones at the same time in order for Musk to get that first tranche. The company would need to report either trailing four-quarter revenue of $20 billion or EBITDA (minus stock-based compensation) of $1.5 billion.
That’s all assuming the compensation plan holds up in court.
Tesla stockholder Richard Tornetta sued Musk and members of Tesla’s board of directors in a Delaware Chancery Court, alleging that the award is excessive, and the board’s vote to give it to him amounts to a breach of fiduciary duty.
At a market cap greater than $103 billion, Tesla’s market cap stands above that of General Motors and Ford combined.
