It's equity. It's not the same as some schmoozing executives taking a cut of profits then running to another to do the same. They're heavily incentivized to keep their shares (thus keeping share value high) and increasing the value of the company over the long term. They could give Elon 1 Trillion dollars worth of shares. It makes no difference. He needs to grow the company into the value to keep the value of his holdings.


Also Elon made Tesla what it is today. He's one of them innovators / engineers. Not pencil pushing managers. Think when Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple. Or when Ballmer took over Microsoft how bad it was.


Having strong committed innovative leadership is probably one of the biggest factors in a company's growth. Once you get one of those "career CEOs" running the company, it's doomed.
