Elon Musk
Tesla Inc TSLA.O lost US$126 billion in value on Tuesday amid investor concerns that Chief Executive Elon Musk (pic) may have to sell shares to fund his $21 billion equity contribution to his $44 billion buyout of Twitter Inc
Tesla is not involved in the Twitter deal, yet its shares have been targeted by speculators after Musk declined to disclose publicly where his cash for the acquisition is coming from. The 12.2% drop in Tesla's shares on Tuesday equated to a $21 billion drop in the value of his Tesla stake, the same as the $21 billion in cash he committed to the Twitter deal.
