        No.

        Musk, who posted a tweet saying “the bird is freed” in reference to his ownership of the micro-blogging site, owns all the shares in the site once payments to shareholders was finalized. Trading in the shares on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, meaning no new purchases of the stock can be made.
