4.45M Tesla shares trade ever day. You could liquidate $300m in Tesla stock at less than one day's average volume.

Trading almost 2M shares on a 5M market is a silly thing to do.

More sensibly, tossing out one batch at a time of less than 5% of the market will allow the stock to clear without sinking the market.

So parcel up the 2M into 50 groups of a few tens of thousands and we are cooking with gas.

$300mil in Tesla Stock ~1.4M shares.

The average trade volume is as you say 4.45M shares. Selling an additional 1.4M raises the daily trade volume by 31.4%.

Economics is supply and demand. If you increase supply by a massive amount when not changing demand. The price tanks. Effectively you are killing your own price point and this sales strategy isn't in your favor.
