As the billionaire offloads shares worth $1bn, financial filings show the move was planned weeks before he asked followers’ opinion

asking if he should offload 10% of his Tesla stocks to pay taxes was met with a clear “yes”. Financial filings released late on Wednesday showed the billionaire has since sold nearly a million shares; but was it because of the poll results?

Hey news this is precisely why I canceled my subscription… Your long running bias against Musk. So much to like about your other reporting but this needs to stop. There are likely many more like me!

He knows what he is doing and I can't even be mad about it lol

The Tickets to Mars just went up by a few millions.

Hocus Pocus alakazam! Poof! elonmusk ought to open a Tesla plant in Australia. They want EVs, can’t get ‘em. Make a model called the Roo, sell it locally for $40-$50,000, carry their own paper. If he needs the broad strokes - tweet me. I’ll, go run it for him for some shares.

pr stunt? nah...

No it wasn’t

TaxTheRich

Great move.

Nah. Options expired.

Is this a Musk have or a Musk need?

That’s a negative— another publicity stunt or his constant need to be center of attention.🙄 he can’t just sell his shares on a whim; it’s reported/filed ahead of time

how to musk money without really trying

Abdolutely not. Loans due, sale of stock to make good, capital gains deadlines, and as usual Musk is just conning his cult fanbase into thinking he's being benevolent. So naïve!

Green energy will be like Betamax tapes were to video player recorders.... soon obsolete

SEC, you’re watching I hope…

The sale was scheduled before the poll. Why is info that's free ignored for brain killing drama? You morons eat it up! GoogleisHARD

Henry VIII created a new religion-- but was it because he was concerned about the theology of the Catholic Church?

He could cure world hunger instead of giving all that tax money to government.

No.

Yes - u thick bakas

It’s a shame Twitter can only pull content from users.

That absolves him of any suggestion of insider trading when the stock plummets.

Answer to your question: no.

Well he sold 5 billion or so. So maybe he just added the billion on!

WHO CARES ABOUT HIS STOCK I DON'T ID RATHER LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT TRUMP BECAUSE THEY AREN'T LOOKING AT THEMSELVES LIKE CHILDREN BADMOUTHING A MAN THAT'S BAND SHOWS YOU WHAT KINDA TRASH THEY ARE

Expiring options 😂

these are stunt masters.
