- The first time was last April when the Tesla CEO sold $8.5 billion of stock after he signed a deal to buy Twitter for $44 million.
- In August, Musk agreed with a Twitter user that he was “done selling” after offloading more than $6.9 billion in Tesla shares after attempting to withdraw from the agreement to buy Twitter ahead of the prospect of a legal battle that ended after he completed the takeover last month.
- “In the (hopefully unlikely) event that Twitter forces this deal to close *and* some equity partners don’t come through, it is important to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock,” Musk tweeted at the time.
