2 days after the official announcement of the acquisition of Twitter, Musk reduced his holdings of Tesla.
On April 28, local time, SEC filings showed that Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk reduced his holdings of Tesla stock by a total of 4.415 million shares at $870 to $1,000 per share on April 26 and 27, for a total of $3.99 billion.

Some analysis points out that the market is not optimistic about Musk's acquisition of Twitter this deal. Because Musk may need to sell his personal shares of Tesla to raise funds for the acquisition, and after the completion of the acquisition, Musk needs to share the energy to manage Twitter, or will affect the daily operations of Tesla.
As of the close of trading on April 28 local time, Tesla was down 0.45% at $877.51 per share.
