Despite the fluctuations that Tesla (TSLA) price is witnessing, the stock has grown 46% so far this year, with a record high of $1,229.91 on November 4.

In a Twitter poll last week, Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and the world’s wealthiest man, asked his followers whether he should sell his shares or not. In fact, he sold $6.9 billion worth of stock, some of which were apparently intended to be sold regardless of the poll results, partly answering tax obligations.

And while investors see Rivian Automobile (RIVN) as Tesla’s competitor, Musk commented that the real test for the newly public EV startup would be high volume production and breakeven cashflow.
