Elon Musk asks Twitter followers whether he should sell 10% of Tesla stock

Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk on Saturday asked his 62.5 million followers on Twitter in a poll if he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock.

“Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock,” Musk wrote in a tweet referring to a “billionaires’ tax” proposed by Democrats in the U.S. Senate.

Musk tweeted that he will abide by the results of the poll, whichever way it goes.

The poll received over a million responses in three hours since he posted it, with 54% of respondents approving the proposal to sell the shares. The Poll is scheduled to end around 3 p.m. ET (2000 GMT) on Sunday.
