Get a load of this one.
No mention about the guy who handles his “Blind Trust”. lol
I believe they are speaking of Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. (third largest institutional owner of ELON), a firm that Arnold reportedly also owned/owns a huge financial stake in (his "independent" trustee Paul Wachter also owns a chunk).
