An initial advance in Tesla Inc. shares following Elon Musk’s suggestion that he may step back from Twitter Inc. faded on Monday, as investors brace for lasting fallout from the billionaire’s acquisition of the social media company.
Tesla’s stock fell as much as 1.9% as of 11:09 a.m. New York time, erasing an earlier gain of as much as 3.3%. The shares have underperformed benchmark indexes since Musk took a stake in Twitter in early April and closed the acquisition in late October.
