Musk sent an email to X employees that the company plans to grant stock options based on their expected impact, and employees must submit a one-page summary telling leadership about their contributions to the company in order to receive the stock. An X source said the company still owes its employees annual equity renewal, which was supposed to be paid out in April. According to two employees, Musk had previously assured employees that they could cash out their shares on a regular basis, just like SpaceX employees. However, he has yet to deliver on that promise.
