Musk’s tweet evoked mixed reactions from his followers as some agreed with his plans while others questioned his motive, adding that he was already an influencer.
A tweep, @albi_sidearms, replied to the tweet, saying, “I’ll be your first subscriber if you make an OnlyFans.”
In response, Musk said, “Maybe, I will.”
Asides from being the Tesla boss, Elon Musk is also the CEO of SpaceX, founder of Boring Company, Co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI, amongst other tech-related lead positions.
Recall that the Tesla share price fell over 5% a month ago after Elon Musk asked his Twitter followers if he should sell 10% of his stock in the company.
In the Twitter poll launched on Saturday, Musk said: “Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock. Do you support this?
The billionaire gave people the option to vote “Yes” or “No” and pledged to abide by the results of the poll, whichever way it went.
Some 3,519,252 people responded, and 57.9% of them voted for “Yes.
Before the Tesla share price fall, Elon Musk previously said he was likely to sell “a huge block” of his shares in the fourth quarter.
According to CNBC, in September, Elon Musk said at the Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California, that his marginal tax rate will be over 50% when his stock options expire at Tesla, and that he was already planning to sell soon.
“I have a bunch of options that are expiring early next year, so … a huge block of options will sell in Q4 — because I have to or they’ll expire,” he said.
