Elon Musk has sold $ 1,020 billion worth of Tesla shares in recent days

Since November, Elon Musk has sold about $ 15 billion worth of shares in an electric car company.

According to the market, the multimillionaire also exercised a call option on 1.6 million Tesla shares at $ 6.24 as part of the compensation package agreed in 2012.

Currently, the value of one share is $ 1,077.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk’s stake in Tesla is now about 177 million shares, and Forbes ranks this businessman as the richest man in the world, his fortune is estimated at $ 275 billion.

Elon Musk is not paid for his role as CEO of Tesla or the aerospace company SpaceX, instead he is paid in shares of both companies.

This decision allowed the businessman to avoid paying taxes on his wealth, because in the United States taxpayers pay taxes only on their income or on the sale of shares.

In early November, Musk surveyed his 62.5 million Twitter followers to find out what they thought he could reduce his stake in Tesla by selling shares.

“There has been a lot of talk about unrealized profits as a way to avoid paying taxes, so I propose to sell 10% of my shares in Tesla. Support? Musk asked.

In the end, most of the answers were yes, after which the multimillionaire sold shares worth $ 14 billion.

Musk investigated before the series of stock options he received in 2012 as payment for his duties as Tesla CEO expired in August 2022.

If he waited until 2022, Musk would have to pay higher taxes.

Several specialist media outlets noted that Musk is funding his lifestyle with loans he receives, backed by Tesla stock, allowing him to cut his tax returns.

This year, news organization ProPublica released a report that revealed that Musk paid $ 455 million in taxes between 2014 and 2018, despite his assets growing by $ 13.9 billion over that period.

And in 2018, they did not pay federal taxes.

In 2020, Musk has already moved his official residence from Los Angeles, California, where he has lived for the past 20 years, to Austin, Texas. Changing your place of residence can significantly reduce the taxes you pay.

And in October, Musk announced that he would move Tesla’s headquarters from Palo Alto, also in California, to Austin, which he justified the high cost of living in California.
