It’s not a surprise to many that social media influences can make a hefty income from their platforms, however, Elon Musk has likely just set a record for the amount of value produced from a single tweet as the entrepreneur’s net worth jumped up $1.4 billion following a 61 character statement.
Specifically, Musk took to Twitter to inform the public that Tesla were planning on going private with shares coming in at $420, following this stockholder were eager to buy shares consequently increasing Tesla’s stock value from $341.99 to 379.57 and leading to Musk’s net worth increasing by well over a billion dollars.
Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.
