[I'd] like to take board action as soon as possible if they feel comfortable and then it would go to shareholders. [...] I think the amount should be reduced to a 10% increment in my Tesla ownership if I can get us to a $550B valuation, but that should be a fully diluted 10%, factoring in that it dilutes me too.

About this email

Later the same morning Musk asks for prompt board action and proposes cutting the award to a fully diluted 10% increase in his ownership if Tesla reaches a $550 billion valuation.
