Tesla IPO'd in 2010 with 13.3 million shares
Tesla had a bit under 1000 employees in 2010
Tesla stock price was $17 in 2010
Tesla had a 5-for-1 stock split in August 2020
Tesla Stock price is $748 a share today
1 share of Tesla in 2010 is equal to $3,740 today
It would take 268 shares of Tesla from 2010 to be a millionaire today. that's $4,556.
Elon's success with Tesla should have produced at least 1,000 millionaires if his early employees believed in the product.
I cant say that still translates to today's workers, but if his vision is that there is still just as much room to grow - then he would be making a lot more millionaires if he is correct. Even amongst todays newer employees. Idk if I would bet on that growth at this point since it is already a household name now and it wasnt before, but I have no actual reason to think one way or the other
