(Reuters) - Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk sold $4 billion worth of shares in the electric vehicle maker, U.S. securities filings showed on Thursday, in sales likely aimed at helping finance his planned purchase of Twitter Inc.

Musk said in a tweet that there are"no further TSLA sales planned after today." He sold 4.4 million shares on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the filings, equating to 2.6% of his stake in the company.

Musk has been looking for partners to reduce his equity contribution to the deal, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters, adding that it is far from certain such a partner will emerge. Musk said on Twitter that he would pay more than $11 billion in taxes in 2021 due to his exercise of stock options set to expire this year.
