After Twitter poll, CEO Musk sells off $5B in Tesla shares

Tesla CEO Elon Musk sold approximately 4.5 million shares, raising over $5 billion, following a Twitter poll where he promised to sell 10% of his company stake.
About $1.1 billion from the sales is designated to cover tax obligations for stock options granted to Musk in September.
Musk publicly linked the sale to the debate around taxing billionaires' unrealized gains, though some transactions were part of a pre-adopted trading plan.
Despite the significant sale, Musk still owns around 167 million Tesla shares, maintaining his position as the largest shareholder and the world's wealthiest person.
