TSLA - TESLA FILES MUSK 2018 STOCK — SALES COULD FOLLOW Tesla registered ~304M shares tied to Elon Musk’s 2018 pay package, allowing them to trade once exercised. It doesn’t mean an immediate sale, but Musk is likely to sell some for taxes when options are used before they expire in 2028. The award survived years of legal battles and is now valued against Tesla’s ~$1.7T market cap (vs ~$70B at grant). Investors expect potential selling pressure, adding volatility to the stock, which is down 16% year-to-date.(*Walter Bloomberg)
