TSLA. Musk new contract. Tesla often cites "great man risk" in its financial filing, addressing the possibility that losing Musk would be a disaster for the company.

Musk just signed on for another 10 years, and the Tesla board has tied his pay package to a $650-billion market cap (it's just over $50 billion now), so his departure probably isn't imminent.

Folks who are exceptionally passionate about Tesla have a hard time separating Musk from the company — an investment in Tesla is a stake in Musk, the argument goes. And while that might have been true in Tesla's seat-of-the-pants early years, the company is 15 years old. If it can actually hit 250,000-500,000 in yearly Model 3 production and maintain Model S and X at 100,000, it's cash-flow pattern will be like any other significant automaker.

The business won't be about vision — it will be about balancing production against demand and trying to figure out to convert a gross-profit margin to a net margin.

This is why Musk's out-there conduct over the past six months hasn't really dented Tesla's stock price: he matters, but in the big picture, he isn't the entire company, which now has over 30,000 employees.

The Tesla machine now runs on its own.
