Musk has previously stated that he plans to sell 10 percent of his Tesla shares, but many are confused as to whether or not he might have reached this goal or not.

But on Wednesday, he suggested he may sell more tweeting: “This assumes completion of the 10b sale,” in reference to the prearranged sales plan of his stock options. He later tweeted: “There are still a few tranches left, but almost done.”

According to Tesla filings, Musk has exercised stock options that expire next year and sold a portion of the stocks to pay taxes, in line with the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan set up in September. Musk currently still has around 1.5 million stock options that expire in August next year.

Following the news, Tesla shares ended 7.5 percent higher at $1,008.87, valuing the company now at over $1 trillion.

Musk sold 934,091 shares this week, bringing the total that he has sold in recent months to 14.77 million, around 90 percent of the 17 million shares he had been expected to sell.
