Do you know why Musk doesn’t sell his shares? Because his holding cost is zero, and he can use his shares as collateral for loans from U.S. banks. Borrowing money without selling, and no taxes to pay. In the U.S., only people like Musk, whose stock holding cost is almost zero, can use shares as collateral for loans without paying taxes. If you’re in the U.S. trying to imitate this with some holding cost and a bit of money, the end result could be a big crash leaving you broke and ruined.
