Tesla stock falters after Musk backpedals

Tesla shares fell 1.1 percent to $319.27 after CEO and top shareholder Elon Musk said over the weekend that the electric car maker will remain a publicly traded company. Mr. Musk wrote in a Friday blog post that he gave up on a plan to take the company private, partly because investors didn’t support it. Wall Street was stunned early this month when Mr. Musk tweeted that he had secured funding to take Tesla private, and while its stock jumped initially, investors remained skeptical. Mr. Musk said his proposal valued Tesla at $420 a share, and afterward the stock peaked at about $380 a share, close to an all-time high for Tesla but still well below the price he named.
