Elon Musk wasn’t actually asking for your opinion on his $5B Tesla stock sale

The world almost turned upside down when over the weekend, Elon Musk asked onTwitterif he should sell 10% of his stake in Tesla. Given his previous antics, it’s not unprecedented for the billionaire to askrandom folks on a social networkabout sensitive financial advice.
