The tech entrepreneur had on Thursday sold 934,091 Tesla shares, according to financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission published late Thursday. The shares are worth $963.2 million.

His tweets are reputed for influencing the stock and crypto market.

A Twitter account by the name of @ShibaInuHodler in October asked Musk how much SHIB coin he was holding. Musk’s single-word reply? “None.” That sent SHIB down 20% in the immediate timeframe after Musk’s tweet.
