Elon Musk tweet wipes $14bn off Tesla's value:
The tweet also knocked $3bn off Mr Musk's own stake in Tesla as investors promptly bailed out of the company.
"Tesla stock price is too high imo," he said, one of several tweets that included a vow to sell his possessions.
In other tweets, he said his girlfriend was mad at him, while another simply read: "Rage, rage against the dying of the light of consciousness."
In 2018, a tweet about Tesla's future on the New York stock market led to regulators fining him $20m and agreeing to have all further posts on the platform pre-screened by lawyers.

You stuck at home: Learn to make bread, binge watch some stuff, teach your children, etc.
Musk stuck at home: Whine about not being able to work, and accidentally Tweet away a few $billion.

Geez, what offensive privilege. There are people "stuck at home" that are out of work that have to worry where their next meal is coming from, while your lazy ass gets a paid staycation.

Always one to bring people down. Not even people starving want to hear that.
