> Musk then sold more than 3 million shares on Tuesday and about half a million shares on Wednesday in 215 separate transactions that collectively netted $3.88 billion. Unlike the Monday sale, these sales were not part of a pre-planned stock sale, known as a 10b5-1, according to the SEC filings.
Is this allowed? I thought major shareholders/executives were required to announce upfront when selling stock? How do we know he's not acting on inside information regarding some bad news?
- nabla9 5y agoIt's possible to sell without announcing, but the sale must be reported (Form 4). It can be determined afterwards if inside information was used.
