Motivated to do what? What does he even do?? What does any CEO really do besides delegate and take the fall when shareholders are out for blood?
I'm seriously asking.

Motivated to take a break from posting hate speech on Twitter.
It's a great question when he can be CEO of multiple companies simultaneously.
There's no way I could work another full time job, there isn't enough time available. And I'm pretty sure the difference isn't that Musk is the only one that can pull it off.
There's plenty of other incompetent nepo babies out there.
CEOs appoint the compensation committees that award themselves more money.
First and foremost they fill the board with chairs who they have quid pro quo with.
He needs his 'investment' in twitter back. Probably because he took out a loan that has enough intrest to be double what he has after selling Tesla stock.
And out of the 8 billion people on this planet, there's not one other who could be motivated for less and be at least an equally effective CEO?
Shit, I'll do it for half that!
If you want to put me in charge of Tesla, I'll do it for a million bucks a year and a house. Doesn't even need to be a big house. Three bedrooms and a two car garage.
Damn you! Alright, I'll do it for half a million.
$250,000 and a car.
But not a Tesla. No way am I driving one of those.
$50,000 and a bicycle!
20 bucks and a promise to send Elon to Mars and never let him come back!
Actually, I'll pay to have him shot to Mars at the next Starship launch.
But can you fire 1000 people and still sleep at night? If not, then you're not right for the job.
Well fuck.
As of Jan 2023 he has sold a total of $39 billion in Tesla stock. So apparently that isn't enough to be motivated. Why on Earth would giving him another $46 billion work this time to "keep him motivated"? If he's given $46 billion he'll just give it away too.
He's going to be really mad if he doesn't get 46 billion. I don't think you understand how mad he will be. Not 45 billion; 45 billion is chump change. It's 46 billion. Would you be fucking motivated even get out of bed for a dollar less than 46 billion?
I didn't think so.
Our Laborers are ONLY Motivated by Love of the Company and Pride in their Work! But our CEO is ONLY Motivated by Money!
Wouldn’t we all be better off if Musk was a little less motivated?
Better get started doing $46 billion worth of work then buddy 👍
OK, I'll start by screaming at some trans people today.
Oh, I was talking to Elon - who's already got a bit of a headstart on the whole anti-trans thing. You're gonna have to scream at a loooot of trans people if you want to get that $46bil before him!
What if l throw in some antisemitic conspiracy myths?
Oh now you're thinking like a CEO generating $46bil worth of labour!
I also need $46 Billion to stay motivated. Who's gonna help me?
This is obviously not about the money. We all know Elon is one of the wealthiest people on the planet, and he would remain so even if Tesla were to renege on the commitment we made in 2018. Elon is not a typical executive, and Tesla is not a typical company. So, the typical way in which companies compensate key executives is not going to drive results for Tesla. Motivating someone like Elon requires something different. This is one of the key reasons the Award also requires Elon to hold any shares he receives upon exercise of stock options for five years after he exercises the options — which can only serve to incentivize him to continue delivering value to Tesla and our stockholders.
Narrator: It was about money.
The word for the Tesla chair is "Cuck"
Tesla chair says Elon needs $50bn/yr to drive the company's image into the ground.
“I need on kajillion billion trillion dollars daily to be motivated”
motivated to do what? Lose $30 million on another poor software purchase? Be a dumb piece of shit on said software platform that is tanking as we speak? Motivation to over work and under pay employees in hazardous, unsafe work conditions? Motivation to be even more of a sexist, misogynistic, pig headed human?
What an absolute baby.
