I guess currently his possible Nokia bonuses have much higher value than he could get from MS share prices.
In light of this, I revise my earlier opinion to he may or may not be a selfish bastard, that he had sold most of his MS shares makes it more likely he is putting Nokia's interests first, but I still can't be sure there aren't are backroom deals between MS and Elop that would result in him making this deal even if it isn't in Nokia's interests.
