17 million seems like a lot, doesn't it.
Elon wants a 56,000 million pay package.
It's $56,000,000,000.00.
Fifty six BILLION dollars.
Or, if you're trying to make it more directly comparable to 17 million (because humans aren't great at implicitly comparing that many zeros), that would be 56,000 millions. It's not how we normally say it, but 17 vs 56,000 feels different than 17 million vs 56 billion.
While odd looking to some of us, they were actually right. That's 56,000 "millions" or 56,000 x 1,000,000 = 56 billion. A mind blowing amount of cash.
Most of us have no intuition about millions of anything let alone billions, same as we have a good handle on seconds and days and years but start talking about nanoseconds or centuries and most of us have completely lost any meaningful frame of reference.
The difference between a million and a billion dollars is approximately 1 billion dollars.
He quite literally does not add this amount of value in any way. No single human possibly could. What a joke.
