If anything, he should be paying around that amount into the company as a penalty for his red team bullshit and terrible political optics. Driving a Tesla is now synonymous with supporting Trump in the minds of most. This is the dumbest possible move against the market demographic of intelligent self aware people willing to make better environmental choices. The big moves to Texas and away from California with many of his other endeavors furthers the issue of screwing over the public. His anti Union politics and war against fundamental decency shows Musk is playing a big part it what is wrong with present society. He is the poster child for a neo feudal oligarchy now. I wouldn't even consider a Tesla now. Plus, no one owns a Tesla because of all the DRM theft and control. That is becoming more relevant with time. The cars have no long term value in a second hand market like ICE vehicles of the past.
