Elon Musk, the CEO of the US company Tesla (Tesla), the world’s largest electric vehicle maker, should sell about 10 percent of his stake in Tesla. 57.9 percent of those who expressed their opinion by voting on a question asked by Musk on social media Twitter said this. Musk had asked users of the social media network on his Twitter poll whether he should sell the stake.

Responding to the outcome of the voting, Musk said he was ready to accept any outcome. “I was ready to accept any consequences,” Musk said. More than 3.5 million (3.5 million) users voted on the poll asked by Elon Musk.

If Musk sold his 10 percent stake in Tesla, as he proposed on Twitter, it could be valued at around $21 billion.

Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday asking his followers if he should sell his 10 percent stake in the electric car company.
