Elon Musk implies that he’ll quit his part-time job as CEO of Tesla (TSLA) if he doesn’t get his $1 trillion pay package. On today’s episode of Quick Charge, I suggest GM’s Mary Barra should replace him, and explore some of the compelling EV deals out there looking to take a bite out of Elon’s market share.
In addition to my take on what the TSLA board should or shouldn’t decide, we’ve got a pile of EV lease deals, some hot, upcoming new electric Jeep models, and a look at some of the ways the end of the Federal EV tax credit isn’t the end at all.

NVIDIA, a $4.5 trillion dollar company and the most valuable in the world, pays it's CEO Jensen Huang $50 million a year. Apple pays CEO Tim Cook $75 million a year. Like Elon could go anywhere else and even make a fraction of what he makes at Tesla. His other own companies don't have the market cap to offer him comparable stock options, nor would the private investors allow that kind of stock dilution to their investments. He literally can't go to any another company in the world and make more money even if Tesla only pays him 1/10th of what he wants.. He can rage quit out of spite but he can't make the obscene money he makes anywhere but at Tesla so he isn't going anywhere else unless he is forced out.
