Is Elon Musk the sole owner of Tesla, or does Tesla have other shareholders, including institutional investors and individual stockholders, who also own a portion of the company, and if so, what is the general breakdown of ownership, focusing on whether Musk controls a majority stake or if his ownership is a significant minority share?
Answer
No, Elon Musk is not the sole owner of Tesla. Tesla is a publicly traded company, meaning its ownership is distributed among many shareholders. While Elon Musk is the largest individual shareholder of Tesla, he owns a significant portion of the company’s stock, but not 100% of it. Other individuals and institutional investors also own shares of Tesla.
