Elon Musk’s own Twitter poll favours 10% Tesla stake sale

Published

on

A Twitter poll has urged billionaire Elon Musk to sell 10 percent of his stake in Tesla, in order to pay tax

Over 3.5 million users on Twitter voted in the poll which was launched by Musk himself on Saturday.

Nearly 58 percent voted in favour of Musk selling his shares.

Should he proceed and decide to sell his 10 percent stake in the EV company, it could see him dispose of around $21 billion worth of stock.

Elon Musk has stated he will abide by the result which is in response to the ‘billionaires tax’ which has been proposed by Democrats across the U.S.

Musk who’s one of the world’s richest men, has yet to comment publicly on the verdict, or how and when he would sell his stake

If he does decide to go ahead and sell, it could leave him with a huge tax bill.

When disposing of large share holdings, some chief executives use so-called “blind” sales programmes – which spread the sale over a long time period to avoid accusations of insider trading.

In an earlier tweet on Saturday, Mr Musk said he took no salary or bonuses from any of his companies – meaning he has no earnings on which to pay income tax.

Musk has made billions through a compensation package which enables him the power to exercise large amounts of stock options when the company meets performance targets.

It is thought the proposed tax on capital gains, whether or not assets have been sold, could hit about 700 billionaires across America.

Elon Musk is one of the most popular business leaders on Twitter, with nearly 63 million followers.

Is Bitcoin’s rally here to stay or just another bubble?

Published

on

A combination of institutional interest, economic uncertainty, growing acceptance, and technological progress is driving Bitcoin’s surge.

 
Many factors contribute to Bitcoin’s upward momentum. First and foremost, increasing institutional adoption plays a pivotal role. Major companies and financial institutions are showing growing interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, pouring significant investments into it. This legitimizes the cryptocurrency in the eyes of traditional investors.

Additionally, global economic uncertainty and inflation concerns are pushing individuals to seek alternative investments. Bitcoin, with its limited supply and decentralized nature, is emerging as a store of value and a hedge against economic turbulence.

Moreover, growing mainstream acceptance and awareness are fueling demand. More merchants are accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, making it increasingly accessible to consumers.

Furthermore, technological advancements, such as the Lightning Network, are improving Bitcoin’s scalability and usability, enhancing its attractiveness as a digital currency. #featured #bitcoin
