Users of the social network Twitter said their weighty word - according to the results of a vote of more than 3.5 million people, Elon Musk must sell 10% of his Tesla shares. Earlier, the businessman put this issue to a vote on Twitter and promised that he would agree with any of the two possible decisions of the audience.
“I was ready for any outcome ,” said Musk, who regularly makes provocative statements on Twitter. So far, he has not announced when and how he intends to sell his securities.
Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock.
Do you support this?

The vote was published by Musk after the Democratic Party of the United States initiated an additional tax on the super-rich. The new measures call for closer scrutiny of large shareholders - the latter are taxed only after the sale, and therefore shares are often viewed by lawmakers as a means of "legal" tax evasion.
Musk had already criticized the Democratic proposals in late October, writing: "In the end, they run out of other people's money and come for yours . " On Saturday, he returned to the question, tweeting that he intends to sell 10% of Tesla shares if Twitter users vote for it.
It is known that as of June, Musk owned about 17% of Tesla shares with a total value of about $ 208.37 billion. By selling 10% of the shares, he is expected to earn more than $ 20 billion.
You do realize that Tesla stock will now tank on Monday because of this, thus ending the awesome run the stock has made the last month. Posts like this is taking money out of the pockets of the people who have believed in you and your company the most. 😕

According to the poll, 57.9% of users voted for the sale of shares - perhaps Musk expected a different outcome. One way or another, not everyone supported him in such an undertaking. Many users have already noted that the injection of such a number of shares into the market will inevitably and negatively affect their price at trading on Monday, which will hit the pockets of ordinary shareholders who have small savings invested in securities.
