Epic Tweets On What Can Go On Your Resume If You Voted On Elon Musk's $21 Bn Stock

A number of people joked that the fact they had advised Elon Musk on Tesla stock would be going on their resumes.

Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Saturday that he would offload 10% of his stock in the company if a majority of Twitter users voted yes in a poll he shared on the microblogging platform. Nearly 58% of the 3.5 million Twitter users who voted in the poll were in favour of Elon Musk selling his stake in Tesla in order to pay tax - and many of them joked about how they helped the world's richest man decide the fate of stock worth around $21 billion.  Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock.Do you support this? putting this in my resume "helped Elon Musk make a decision involving $20b+ worth of stock" https://t.co/kCbJPukEG8 Brb writing on my resume: “Advised multi-billionaire on stock sale transaction” https://t.co/mq0bpGrpYT Everyone who votes can add on their resume “Facilitated executive consultation in liquidating over $20B in public equities” https://t.co/ph66GbFWiI Adding on Resume:- Online Financial consultant (part-time) to @elonmuskhttps://t.co/Ez6cDMuryB My resume now reads : Investment consultant to the world's richest.

"Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock," Elon Musk tweeted Saturday when he shared the poll, referring to a "billionaires' tax" proposed by Democrats.

Elon Musk has previously said he would have to exercise a large number of stock options in the next three months, which would create a big tax bill. Selling some of his stock could free up funds to pay the taxes. The Tesla chief also said he does not take cash salary or bonus "from anywhere", and only has stock.
