Billionaire and prolific Twitter user Elon Musk is rethinking his attachment to the material world — and said a first step wil be selling "almost all physical posessions." He also said that he thinks the stock price of Tesla is "too high" — a tweet that was followed by a sharp drop in the share price of the electric car manufacturer.

The announcement came amid a broader tweetstorm Friday morning. Musk, who's known for his eccentric online presence, fired off a series of tweets in which he continued his weeks-long rant against government-enforced shutdowns surrounding COVID-19 outbreaks.
