The family office of has reportedly sold off its entire stake in in the first quarter of 2023, according to . It comes following rebound from a . The move has also seemingly pissed off on , which is not exactly surprising.
The outlet reports that Soros Fund Management had previously gradually added to its holdings of Tesla stock in the second quarter of 2022. By the end of last year, it reportedly had 132,000 . Considering the fact that the stock jumped 68 percent in the first quarter of 2023, the fund probably made a really solid chunk of change.
