Tesla shares fell 12% earlier this week on Tuesday, resulting in a $126 billion loss. The drop occurred after Elon Musk revealed he would be selling some Tesla shares to fund his part of the $44 billion Twitter acquisition deal.
“The $21 billion in equity financing for Twitter will result in some piece of Musk’s Tesla ownership being sold over the coming year even though a core piece of this financing is likely held as collateral and not actually sold in the transaction. This is why $TSLA [is] down as overhang,” explained,” explained Wedbush analyst Dan Ives at the time.
By Wednesday, TSLA rebounded. As of this writing, Tesla shares are priced at $877.51, down -.45%. The company’s market cap stands at $906.92 billion.
