Tesla shares drop as Musk promises to sell stake

Tesla shares fell in premarket trading after Twitter users directed chief executive Elon Musk to sell a 10th of his stock in an online poll.

The electric-vehicle maker’s stock lost 5.6% ahead of the bell on 8 November. “I was prepared to accept either outcome,” Musk said in a tweet Sunday after participants in the poll backed a sale by 58% to 42%. Neither Musk nor Tesla has said when a share sale would take place.
