No it won’t. I’m speaking to the actual stock prices from when their factory fired up to today. If you were getting equity benefits from 2012 to now, you can cash out the first of those benefits for 10x their value when you received them. I found that out in 2 seconds by looking at Tesla’s stock prices.

I’m wasn’t sure how their equity compensation works and based my assumptions on straight equity shares. There are dozens of potential structures.

I’m not even supposing that for most blue collar workers. I am supposing that for the commenter who is convinced that a few extra dollars per hour is better than a few more stock options that are going to be worth 10x as much in a few years.

Are you just trolling or do you actively want the workers to remain poor? Taking an extra dollar as cash in year one of Tesla production is worth a dollar. Taking a dollar worth of equity and it is now ten dollars cash. That is the kind of growth that make running light a few years worth it because it means financial…

They can and often do. Anytime a company sells stock to raise capital, that capital can be used for whatever. This would be a far worse deal for both the company and likely the employee.

Now I’m even more confused. Do you mean the tweet is trying to say he doesn’t include that compensation expense in the earnings report?

This is terrible financial advise. Equity compensation would likely be recognized at the fair market value of when it was granted. This means that they would have some options that got in on the ground floor and after the vesting period, would be worth buttloads of money. Equity is why you want to work at a start up.…

I checked my accounting books I kept from college and you definitely recognize stock options as compensation expense as they vest. This is standard practice. That would go on an earnings report and would be subtracted from earnings.

“This is an interesting take from Musk. As Jeremy Owens, the tech editor for Marketwatch, pointed out, Tesla subtracts stock compensation from its earning reports.”

How so? It’s an unskilled labor position in different parts of the country. They don’t even have the same labor pool.

No I’m saying I’d wouldn’t trade any statistics with Cuba for the continue ability to walk into any store and buy what I want and not have to worry about there not being beef. I’d like to be able to go on the internet and bitch about the government without fear of reprisal. I like to be able to go to car parts stores…

I mean that isn’t true though. Almost no one starves to death in the US. The total number of deaths from malnutrition is around 4k per year. The majority of those people are dying from self imposed (not in the sense they aren’t dealing with mental illness, just that their lack of food isn’t due to money) eating…

I mean, all you need is an oxygenated atmosphere because oxygen atmospheres indicate photo synthesis is going on.

Wait, is their sun less strong, because Mercury is hot AF and not habitable?

I’m talking about the lack of benefits of being Cuban.

Except you’d also have food rationing and be dirt poor.

So this is a Jumanji jeep?

Quit generalizing. Adults are individuals too.

If that was a legitimate, the NFL wouldn’t allow the players to speak.

Cleveland fan?
