Elon Musk declared he’s selling all his possessions, and Tesla’s stock price dropped 10% in a matter of minutes.

Elon Musk is playing some of his greatest — and most bizarre — hits: manipulating Tesla’s stock price , questioning the coronavirus pandemic , and being generally chaotic on Twitter .
On Friday, the South African-born entrepreneur fired off a series of missives on Twitter. He declared he’s selling all of his possessions and his home, again called to free America from coronavirus lockdowns , and said Tesla’s stock price is too high .

Some people speculated that Musk’s account had been hacked. It’s unclear if that’s the case. Twitter declined to comment on the tweets, and Tesla didn’t return a request for comment.

Even with Friday’s dip, Tesla’s stock price was up about 70 percent year-to-date by the early afternoon.
