How is Tesla valued, and how can I get they afford to give Musk one trillion dollar package?

I am truly baffled at how Tesla is generating such significant revenue that they can pay Elon a trillion dollars. A part of me feels like this is just news to create perceived value and hype.

I find it difficult to believe that Tesla is generating this much in sales and value.

I feel that their (Tesla's) success and valuations must be linked to government contracts.
