Believe it or not, this pay package depends on Musk creating a robot army. No I’m not joking.
——-
One of the pay package targets is for Tesla to sell a million robots. Tesla has been developing a humanoid robot called Optimus, designed to work in factories as well as homes. Musk imagines one for every person on Earth, all of them running Tesla software. And on an earnings call last month, he said he wants to make sure that if he builds what he calls a "robot army," he stays in charge of it.
"It's not like I'm going to go spend the money. It's just, if we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over that robot army? Not control, but strong influence," Musk said. "I don't feel comfortable building that robot army if I don't have at least a strong influence."
