description: "$Tesla(TSLA.US)Tesla’s 2024 revenues were $97 billion, which means it would take the equivalent of 87 years of 2024-level performance to hit $8.5 trillion in sales.Now, if we’re talking about giving Musk his $1 trillion paycheck, assuming a 10% profit margin, Tesla would need $10 trillion in sales to make that happen.Basically, it’d take 103 years of the company’s entire profits to pay Musk that amount — and that’s not even accounting for corporate taxes, retained earnings, or other hurdles along the way.Sure, you could speed things up with higher revenues or better margins, but let’s be real… these numbers are just plain ridiculous.So, what do you think, folks? Is Musk actually going to get his “ultimate paycheck”?🤣"
