Course overview
This playlist dissects Tesla’s path to a $1 trillion valuation by tying Musk’s motivation and incentives to business outcomes and market risk. Across concise episodes, we unpack the CEO pay package, governance debates, and how compensation structures drive strategy. We map valuation drivers—FSD/AI optionality, energy growth, margins, capacity expansion, and capital intensity—against execution, regulatory, and China risks.
Expect reverse-DCF walk-throughs, scenario trees, and bull versus bear catalysts, with plain-English checkpoints you can reuse in your models. The goal: separate narrative from numbers and equip you to judge what’s truly priced in. We also examine competition and macro sensitivity and financing.
