Many people are amazed at the potential $1 trillion bonus Musk could receive from his wager. I've only seen this level of money awarded to someone in sappy novels before, and those were often a bit outrageous. Consider that Tesla's current market capitalization is just over $1 trillion. From a pie-in-the-sky perspective, if Musk can reach a market capitalization of $10 trillion, he'd have to be awarded 10% of the total stock—a pretty big pie. If Musk accepts, I might buy back into $TSLA. It's just 10 years, right? It'd be nice to watch over it with the most talented person on the planet.
