- $ 14 billion: Elon Musk brought down Tesla shares with his tweet

The founder of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Mask, loves jokes and Twitter, and even more, jokes on Twitter. His posts more than once

led to uncomfortable situations, and this happened this time too.

What happened

After the publication of its quarterly report, in which Tesla reported good profits, the company's shares climbed up to $855.

However, this figure seemed too high to Musk, which he openly wrote about on Twitter:

"Tesla's share price is too high in my opinion"

Ordered - done. After this tweet, Tesla shares fell by 12% in a day. As a result, the company lost about $14 billion, and Musk’s fortune lost $2.8 billion.

By the way, yesterday most of Elon’s posts were strange: he promised to sell his property, said that his girlfriend, the singer Grimes, was angry with him, and demanded that freedom be returned to people.

Let's remember that in 2018, because of one tweet from ElonMusk himself and Tesla paid $20 million each, after which the PR department promised to control the leader’s vigorous activity on social networks. Apparently it didn’t work out. Last year, Musk even wanted to delete his account, but was never able to.
