Meanwhile at Tesla employees have become millionaires off of stock options. Crappy place to work for other reasons, but pretty much everybody gets RSU's.

There's a big difference between stock options and RSUs. Nobody became millionaires off RSUs unless they started at Tesla <2018. I'm not convinced everyone at Tesla is offered options.

Take this as the heresay as it is, but pretty much everybody at Tesla gets at least $20K in RSU's. If you got that pre-IPO and kept it this long it's worth more than a million. But even if it doesn't appreciate at all, over 4 years that's a similar payout to the MB payout referenced in the article.

Do you realize that Tesla has gone from 1k to 100k employees in the meantime?

The people working in the tesla factories, the line workers, are millionares? Get RSUs?
