FactSet chart on Tesla stock fluctuation
CNBC reported that Mr. Musk is “actively” searching for a new chief executive to run the embattled social network.
The news comes after Mr. Musk ran a poll on Twitter that showed users would like him to step down from the microblogging site.
Nevertheless, Tesla shares were down about 2% in morning trading and are on pace to hit yet another 52-week low. The electric automaker’s stock is down nearly 59% in 2022.
Also perhaps dragging on the shares: a few bank analysts who pulled back their price targets on the stock.
Meanwhile, Tesla shares have been on the decline for months, sinking 8.1% Tuesday. Musk himself revealed he’d sold 20 million Tesla shares, worth about $3.5 billion, in a security filing last week.
For many Tesla investors, the reason for the share price isn’t a mystery. Ross Gerber, a major Tesla investor, tweeted Tuesday that “Tesla stock price now reflects the value of having no CEO,” and that it’s “time for a shake up.”
