While Tesla shares fell 10% on the Nasdaq stock this day, prominent American investor Michael Burry speculated on the reasons that could push the CEO of the company, Elon Musk, to sell 10% of his shares.
“As for what Musk needs to sell, because of the proposed tax on unrealized profits, or to solve world hunger, or … Well, there’s the matter of the tax-free money he took out on June 30 in form of personal loans backed by 88.3 million of their shares, “Burry wrote in a tweet already deleted, but captured shortly before by Business Insider.
With his post, Burry hints that Musk actually needs the cash to cover the credits you have asked for, and for no other reason.
In that sense, the media alludes to another Burry post, from last August, to which it attached a link to a report from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, where it is documented that Musk had placed 88 million shares from Tesla as collateral for personal loans.
