HOW DID MUSK SELL?
Musk said on Nov. 6 he would sell 10% of his stake if Twitter users agreed. He owned a combination of about 244 million shares through his trust and stock options, bringing his stake in Tesla to about 23% as of June 30. It included 170 million shares held by his trust.
The tweet was vague. Musk did not outline if he was intending to offload 10% of his shares he indirectly owned through the trust or if his stock options were also part of the deal.
Tesla stock has dropped 25% since a peak on Nov. 4.
With a $243 billion fortune, Musk is the world’s richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
