    Eh. He can sell his tesla stock anytime he wants cash, he just would have to pay taxes on it and instead would likely borrow against it. Oh the sad pitiful life of our beleaguered oligarchs.

      That, and selling $1.5B of Tesla stock would tank the stock price. Especially if he does it every single time he has to make a payment.
