To get $1 trillion, or another 12% stake in Tesla, the company will need to sell 1 million robots and sustain an adjusted Ebitda/profits of $400 billion.
But he can earn plenty of shares along the way by selling more cars and Full Self-Driving subscriptions, or hitting lower
Ebitda targets.

It was the first time I've notice him use this specific phrase, militarizing what has previously been pitched as a tool for manufacturing or domestic settings.
