Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, announced the good news to his followers while he fought Twitter in court over a $44 billion acquisition offer.

“Congrats, Giga Shanghai on making the millionth car! Total Teslas made now over 3M,” he tweeted.

He announced the good news days after selling Tesla shares valued at close to $7 billion, according to legal documents released last week.
Approximately 7.9 million shares were sold by the Tesla CEO between August 5 and August 9, according to documents posted on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website.
Towards the end of Tuesday, Musk posted on Twitter, “It is crucial to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock, in the (hopefully improbable) case that Twitter compels this deal to close and some equity partners don’t come through.
The erratic Tesla CEO and Twitter are engaged in a court dispute over his attempt to renege on the April agreement to purchase the company. A judge has decided that the trial will start in October.
In a countersuit, Musk has charged Twitter with fraud and claimed that the social media site misled him about important aspects of its operations before he consented to a $44 billion takeover.
