(Reuters) - Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk disclosed in a filing on Wednesday that he had sold shares of the electric-car maker.
Musk said on Saturday that he would sell 10% of his stake if his followers on Twitter approved the move on a poll.
The shares were sold to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to exercise of stock options to purchase about 2.2 million shares, according to the filing.
