Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are trading lower amid overall market weakness. The weakness is also possibly on continued volatility amid economic uncertainty and uncertainty surrounding Elon Musk’s Twitter deal.
Some investors have shown concern for how much time Musk spends on the Twitter deal, possibly distracting him from his other businesses.
In addition to the risk involved with the Twitter deal, Musk is also under fire following a Business Insider report outlining a sexual misconduct claim against Musk in 2018. SpaceX reportedly paid the victim $250,000.
