Musk once considered selling 10% of his Tesla shares to pay taxes because he had no income.
In 2018, Musk was unable to pay taxes because he did not receive any cash income or bond income from the company at the time. He considered selling 10% of his shares to pay taxes.
Tesla's latest market value is about $1.5 trillion, and Musk held more than 35% of Tesla shares at the time. The 10% of Tesla shares he held at the time are now worth more than $60 billion.
