   That's how much money Elon can expect if he achieves certain goals with Tesla.   
      
   You might think these are impossible goals, but if we look at Tesla's market   
   capitalization of $8.5 trillion, you have to factor in inflation. That goal is   
   perhaps the easiest to achieve with Trump's policies: selling 20 million cars,   
   10 million of which will have a fully self-driving subscription. That's   
   something that still needs a lot of work. One million robotaxis driving around.   
      
   These are ambitious goals. If Elon achieves them, he'll get $1 trillion.   
      
   Now the point is... How many lives will be ruined for that goal? Lives of   
   employees who will be completely exploited and laid off when they burn out.   
   They'll have to work long hours to make the boss extremely rich. Dickens might   
   be turning in his grave because of the exploitation that will take place here.   
      
   I think it's an incredibly sickening development. A man like Musk is going to   
   set up his own gestapo within Tesla to track down and eradicate any element   
   that even remotely opposes him. Unions? Over his dead body!   
      
   Employee rights? Not if he has his way. Everything has to take precedence over   
   his bonus. That's where this nonsense is headed, in my opinion.
