The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, asked Twitter users to vote on whether he should sell 10% of his stake in the carmaker in order to pay tax on his gains. What do shareholders make of it? We get the opinion of Ross Gerber, President and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki investments based in California - who are big investors in Tesla. Former US president Barack Obama has been speaking at the UN climate summit in Glasgow.
