Elon Musk offloads $582 Million of Tesla Shares

    Elon Musk sold 583,611 shares in Tesla Inc. for $528 million, meaning he’s now more than three-quarters of the way to making good on his pledge to sell 10% of his stake in the electric carmaker. 

Musk has been offloading Tesla stock since asking his Twitter followers in November whether he should sell some of his stakes. He said he would exercise options toward the end of the year and set up a share-trading plan prior to the poll. 

The billionaire has now sold around 13.5 million shares for about $14.1 billion, regulatory filings show. He’ll need to dispose of some 17 million shares all up to offload 10% of his interest in the U.S.-based EV pioneer, assuming his pledge excludes exercisable options.

Tesla shares have fallen 24% since a peak on Nov. 4, just prior to Musk’s Twitter poll, to which the majority of answered “yes."

Musk, 50, is the world’s richest man, at top of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a fortune of $244.9 billion. He said in a Tweet late Sunday that he would pay more than $11 billion in taxes this year.

After all, even Hitler succumbed to it.  Causes -  The diesel which is used for generating electricity is now available in historically low amounts in North-Western Europe, so much so that by this November, an energy crisis, including blackouts and lack of fuel and electricity for large-scale industries is extremely essential.

The forecast of this news is so gloomy, that this river which controls trades over 80 billion USD will stop. Effects - Adding to this the already food shortages in Europe due to the war, the survival of the poorest will be challenging in the coming months.
