Elon Musk returns to provoke the market and the world of politics, and he does it as always in his own way, on Twitter. He turns to his he followers, asking them if they believe should sell 10% of his Tesla shares . & quot; The only way why & eacute; I pay taxes & egrave; sell shares & quot ;, explains in a tweet, why & eacute; “I do not receive any cash salary or a bonus anywhere”, adding that “I will respect & agrave; the results of the survey & quot ;.
It all stems from the proposal put forward by the Democrats in the United States Senate (and wanted by President Biden) to establish a & quot; billionaire tax & quot; to finance the social agenda and plans to contain changes climate: not receiving any salary, in fact, Musk eludes – in fact legally – the national tax system , so & igrave; like so many other US billionaires do. “There's been a lot of talk lately about unrealized gains as a means of tax avoidance, so I propose to sell 10% of my Tesla stock,” he writes. The votes are already; almost 3 million – and there are 9 hours left before the survey is closed – and YES are 56.6% against 43.4% of NO.
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?

Musk holds about 170.5 million shares, and the sale of 10% of these – therefore about 17 million – would be worth around 20.8 billion dollars (a Tesla share currently stands at $ 1,222). If so will want & agrave; really the audience, Elon will follow & agrave; the footsteps of his brother Kimbal, who so & igrave; like the other board members of the company it recently sold 88,500 shares.
Musk (Elon) & egrave; the biggest man rich on the planet, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, ahead of Jeff Bezos, Bernard Arnault (LVMH) and Bill Gates. A short time ago he was called into question together with the founder of Amazon by the executive director of the UN World Food Program David Beasley, who had invited them to donate a one-time $ 6 billion to feed 42 million people. Musk's response did not & egrave; made to wait:
If the World Food Program can & ograve; describe in this Twitter thread exactly how the $ 6 billion can solve world hunger, sell & ograve; Tesla shares right now and it will & ograve ;.
In a back and forth series, Beasley said that & quot; not & egrave; as complicated as the Falcon Heavy, but what is at stake is; so & igrave; high that deserves a comparison “. And again: & quot; 6 billion will not solve world hunger, but it will prevent; instability geopolitics, mass migration and will save 42 million people on the verge of “ starvation ''. And Musk seems to want to discuss it, replying:
But it must be accounting; open source, so that the public can see exactly how the money is being spent.
