Tesla was supposed to deliver shares, or cash, if its share price went above a contractually set "strike price" by a certain expiration date, the complaint says.

In the 16 months that followed, Tesla stock bottomed out at a three-year low just under $177 per share in June 2019, before shooting past $420 per share in December that year. Musk was later charged with securities fraud by the SEC.
