Musk sells Tesla shares worth $6.9 billion, cites chance of forced Twitter deal

REUTERS/Aly SongChief Executive Officer Elon Musk sold $6.9 billion worth of shares in the electric vehicle maker, saying the funds could be used to finance a potential Twitter deal if he loses a legal battle with the social media platform.

Musk in early July tore up his April 25 agreement to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Twitter has sued Musk to force him to complete the transaction, dismissing his claim that he was misled about the number of spam accounts on the social media platform as buyer's remorse in the wake of a plunge in technology stocks. The two sides head to trial on Oct. 17.

Billionaire problem’s. Who really cares?

I always see Elon's father in the living room-🤣

If the Twitter deal goes through I'm deleting Twitter
