In another tweet on Saturday, Mr Musk said: "Note, I do not take a cash salary or bonus from anywhere. I only have stock, thus the only way for me to pay taxes personally is to sell stock.
How does he buy a pint then?

Hasn't he got a massive tax bill on the way? If so, then the timing of this sale is a tad convenient.

Was about to post that he’s only started pissing around with TSLA because his tweets about BTC and Dogcoin weren’t having any impact on prices, then woke up to see what had happened overnight

Have you seen why he’s proposed this? It’s not about needing money.

It's not about need it's about the wants of a rich man.

Anyway the real reason isn't for him to realise a gain and pay tax on it. The real reason is that it allows him to ramp up the stock and sell it.

Normally its difficult for an owner like him to sell shares without upsetting other investors and the market. He can now argue that he NEEDS to do it due to popular demand. He's a devious little sh*t.

True.

But BTC is proper pumping off the back of this, so swings and roundabouts.

Approaching £50K as people look for an alternative to fiat with rising global inflation looming.

See Tesla's stock tanked this morning in Frankfurt as predicted. Time to buy the dip!

He got away with stating one of the diving heroes that saved the trapped kids from drowning was a nonce.

Good luck taking him to court for this.

I know what Twitter is but do not get the obsession with it.

Anyone here got a Twitter account can explain why it is worth over 44 billion?

He strikes me as a bit of a fruitcake. Is he someone you'd want in charge of a social network than influences millions of the hard-of-thinking.

I'm not sure.
