Tesla CEO Elon Musk is coming close to earning the first options from his record-breaking pay deal after the electric carmaker's stock more than doubled.

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk is coming close to earning the first $US346 million tranche of options in a record-breaking pay package, after the electric vehicle maker's stock more than doubled in the last three months.

Musk receives no salary or cash bonus, only options that vest based on Tesla's market cap and milestones for growth. Musk has transformed Tesla from a niche car maker with production problems into the global leader in electric vehicles, with US and Chinese factories. So far it has stayed ahead of more established rivals including BMW and Volkswagen .

Tesla was valued at about $US53 billion when shareholders approved the pay package in January 2018 and faced a cash crunch, production delays and increasing competition from rivals. It was viewed as massively ambitious because it implied the company's value could grow as much as ten-fold in 10 years.

Don't throw away burnt banknotes — the RBA says bushfire victims can reclaim their valueAustralians with cash damaged in the bushfires are being urged to take the remains to their local bank branch or bushfire evacuation centres to make claims for compensation.

US lifts China's currency manipulator status as initial trade deal nearsThe US is dropping its designation of China as a currency manipulator, as part of a phase one trade deal to be signed by the two nations this week. Another joke for the masses, China is only one nation that manipulates currency and stock markets around the world to make billions (trillions?) of dollars each hit. Russia, North Korea and former Balkan states cash in on rising markets, the price drops and they start over again. Like WE don't? I thought trump was an idiot and wouldn't be able to get any deals done,would start a war and couldn't fix the economy. Seems China is backing trump to win a second term by doing the deal before the election this will surely help him get that second term

Former Pope Benedict breaks silence to warn Pope Francis against celibacy rulesFormer Pope Benedict defends the value of priestly celibacy in the Catholic Church, in what appears to be an appeal to Pope Francis to not change the rules. If clericity fail to articulate, philosophical reasoning, and parapsychological benefits of celebacy. To fellow students under platform of surrender. Cults exploitation of secrecy, webs of victimization, puritanical false floor persecution, without redemptive exits. Godless. Healthy debate in modern world on Catholicism - a good model. Some argue 'no debate' & stay with traditional rules. But adjusting to modern issues within reason will ensure greater following into future. After molestation scandals - clearer the need for honest realizations. I think allowing priests to marry may be a positive way forward but also opens up the opportunity to commit another sin - adultery
