Can you take a screenshot?
Swing Trade Swag : It's to pay taxes, he tweeted his tax bill is 11.2 billion. Musk has also tweeted: “Note, I do not take a cash salary or bonus from anywhere. I only have stock, thus the only way for me to pay taxes personally is to sell stock.” So faced with a huge tax bill, it can be assumed Time's Man of the Year will sell the stocks in order to pay the IRS![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")

Sales were already pre planned in September before the Q3 results.
Fans bought his pitiful paying tax stories.
Time will tell.
Revelation 6 : The price was right to start with. Then the taxes he pays on them this year will be less than next year. Also he, like and a lot of other people,thought that the Spendocrates were going to pass the 2 trillion dollar “Common Poverty” oops I mean “Common Desperation” bill that included taxing unearned income from stocks and securities brought forward to the next tax year. That has recently been removed from the bill because not even the real Democrats would go for Joe Biden’s want to tax money that hasn’t even been earned yet. They keep hacking away at this fat laden pig of a budget and we might even get a decent budget out of this. Like The Rolling Stones say “You can't always get what you want.But if you try sometime,you'll find. You get what you need.”
