Insider stock sales play a really interesting dual role in Musk's net worth story. On one hand, when he sells Tesla shares (like the $20+ billion he's sold over the years), it directly reduces his ownership percentage and thus his net worth tied to Tesla. However, these sales serve important purposes: Funding other ventures - He uses proceeds to fund SpaceX, xAI, etc. Tax obligations - He needs to sell to cover taxes on exercised options Diversification* - Though he remains extremely concentrated in his companiesThe key thing is that despite these sales, his net worth continues growing because Tesla's market cap growth outpaces his selling. For example, if he sells $5 billion of stock but Tesla's market cap increases by $100 billion, his remaining stake becomes more valuable. It's this balance between monetization and ownership that makes his wealth management so complex. The sales are strategic rather than indicating lack of confidence in his companies.
