The headline is incorrect. The Telegraph article says that Elon Musk's potential payout is $70 billion, not $7 billion. The New York Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/business/dealbook/tesla-elon-musk-pay.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/business/dealbook/tesla-e...) lists the potential payout at $55 billion. Either way it's a lot of money, but if he can succeed, he will certainly have earned it.
