According to a Reuters calculation, Musk had about $20 billion cash after selling part of his stake in Tesla through multiple transactions in November and December last year and April and August.

My mistake. I mistakenly thought he'd simply swapped the Tesla stock at face value, rather than cashing it out via a brokerage.

No problemo. I usually don't give a shit about this kind of stuff, but if a single person buys for such a huge sum, I maybe look into it.
