Not even that makes sense because a "tractor company or heavy manufacturing company just churning out results for years" (that supposedly pays $10k/day) doesn't have exponential stock growth.
The entire article is just the whimsical fantasies of someone with no understanding of market reality.

Without diving too deep into splits and whatnot, John Deere's stock price looks far more exponential than Google's.
> Under the modern tech landscape, stable “hyperscale ultra-growth” companies are paying experienced employees the equivalent of $10,000 to $50,000 per day if we include the value of their exponentially growing yearly stock grants.
Assuming a $250k salary, that's only about $1000/day. But if you're able to bank $50,000,000 in stock grants over a 40 years career (invest early and often in a high-growth company), that averages out to $5,000 per day.
Kinda dodgy math, should been better clarified, and that's still somewhat ambitious; but I think that's the idea behind it based on a couple allusions throughout the article.
