A tweet worth billions, literally. Given the US Democratic party's recent move to tax billionaires, Elon has left it to his 62.5 million Twitter fanbase to decide his fate. In a democratic move himself, he asked his followers to vote if he should keep or sell his 10% Tesla (TSLA) stock. Believe it or not, 59% of 5.3 million users voted that he should sell! By the way, that 10% equates to $21b worth of stock in the electric carmaker.

But, was this inevitable? You see, at a recent event, he mentioned that would have to sell some of his stock in Q4 because his stock options were expiring. Unluckily for Tesla, that sent its stock price down 5% in premarket trading on Monday morning following the poll. The people have spoken.
