The awards are also nearly identical to those offered to Musk at Palo Alto, California-based Tesla in 2012. Most importantly, the billionaire is the chairman and largest shareholder of both companies. Under the awards’ terms, the Rives would have had 10 years to earn the options. For that’s by achieving a certain sets of goals. All with half tied to SolarCity’s stock price and half tied to operational results. I mean such as increasing customers, and also lowering the cost of generating solar wattage. Moreover then every time the company achieved a target in both categories, they would earn 1/10th of the options.
