With this most recent sale, Musk has now sold roughly $20 billion worth of Tesla stock. Elon Musk had already said that there will be no further Tesla share sales after doing so in April and August for a total of $15.4 billion.

On April 4, Musk revealed that he was the company’s top stakeholder with a 9.2 percent stake, starting the $44 billion takeover. After stating that he intended to remove spam accounts, his attorneys charged Twitter with failing to provide the information they had requested.
