Elon Musk on Wednesday refuted reports that he had reduced his stake in Twitter, saying that an initial regulatory filing on his holdings in the social media platform contained the wrong number of shares.

A 13D filing on Tuesday showed that the Tesla CEO had taken a 9.1% stake in Twitter. A disclosure to the SEC a day earlier had Musk owning 9.2%.
