Tesla stock slips as CEO Musk sells another $3.58 billions of shares

Shares of Tesla are sliding before the market open on Thursday after news broke that CEO Elon Musk sold another USD 3.58 billion worth of the electric vehicle maker's stock this week. The stock slipped to USD 153 in premarket trading and is nearing two-year lows. Musk, the new owner of Twitter, sold the shares from Monday through Wednesday, according to a filing posted Wednesday night by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It wasn't clear where the proceeds were being spent. Musk has sold nearly USD 23 billion worth of Tesla stock since April, with much of the money likely going to help fund his USD 44 billion acquisition of Twitter. Early last month he sold nearly USD 4 billion worth of Tesla shares, according to regulatory filings. The sale comes as shares of the electric vehicle and solar panel maker have collapsed, losing over half their value since Musk first disclosed in April that he was buying up Twitter stock. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a client note that .

Elon Musk's Twitter tweaks may lead to EU showdown over tough new rules

Self-proclaimed free speech warrior Elon Musk's more unfettered version of Twitter could collide with new rules in Europe, where officials warn that the social media company will have to comply with some of the world's toughest laws targeting toxic content. While the new digital rulebook means the European Union is likely to be a global leader in cracking down on Musk's reimagined platform, the 27-nation bloc will face its own challenges forcing Twitter and other online companies to comply. The law doesn't fully take effect until 2024, and EU officials are scrambling to recruit enough workers to hold Big Tech to account. Known as the Digital Services Act, the EU's sweeping set of rules aims to make platforms and search engines more accountable for illegal and harmful content including hate speech, scams and disinformation. They'll kick in next summer for the biggest digital companies like Google, Facebook and TikTok and then expand to all online services the following year. Those ..
