Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

And we don't think diluting ourselves by another potentially trillion dollars changes that dynamic.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

Well, I think he already has tremendous say as the largest shareholder of the company.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

You know, as a governance person, do we want...

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

so much risk in one person.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

Maybe he is the visionary that the board thinks he is, but we don't know what could happen to anybody.

Bloomberg Tech

And to have this much risk placed in one person and to dilute ourselves just to one person, there's tens of thousands of people working at Tesla creating value.

Bloomberg Tech

And if it is so key on just one person, key person risk, that's a worry for me as a shareholder.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

Yeah, so we do think of ourselves as long-term shareholders, and a lot of our portfolio is indexed.

Bloomberg Tech

And so we plan to hold this company for a long time.

Bloomberg Tech

So we try not to worry too much about if one person leaves today or tomorrow.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

We're in it for the long haul.

Bloomberg Tech

So if he left tomorrow, would that be a short-term hit to the business?

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

Possibly.

Bloomberg Tech

But if we're going to hold this company for a long time and the board has to replace him and get somebody in terrific, maybe not as good as Elon, but pretty terrific, we still think we're going to benefit over the long term by holding this stock.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

Yeah, and we evaluate every pay plan case by case, and so we did look at those things.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

And what we're trying to do when we're paying a CEO is,

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

What part of that return is beta?

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

And then where is the actual skill?

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

And so it's hard for us to predict what the beta is going to be 10 years from now at the end of this award period.

Bloomberg Tech
Qualcomm Earnings, Musk $1 Trillion Pay Vote

You know, he might do very well.
