Baillie Gifford, Tesla’s largest outside shareholder, is open to a different role for the company’s founder and CEO.
Tesla stock has been falling since Thursday, when CEO Elon Musk said the company would be closing its stores in favor of an online-only sales model.

The SEC action followed a recent round of Musk’s tweets where he seemed to mislead investors about Tesla’s 2019 production, before correcting himself a few hours later.
