Twitter, Tesla & Taxes, the Twitterati tribe has spoken directing the world's richest man to sell 10% of his stake in Tesla enabling him to pay his taxes. The stake would be valued at about $21 billion based on 170.5 million Tesla shares he holds.
A majority (58%) of 3.5 million Twitter users said they would support Musk's plan sell stake in a Twitter poll that the world's richest man launched on Saturday and closed on Sunday.
“I was prepared to accept either outcome,” Musk said in a tweet after the poll closed.
Musk’s fortune stands at $338 billion, about one-quarter of that consists of Tesla stock options that he’s free to exercise at any time.
