Shares of Tesla hit a new 52-week low of $141.06 on Tuesday and have lost around 40 percent since the start of 2016. The ongoing decline in Tesla's stock has prompted many investors to sell their position as they do not want to wait to see "how the company fares against expectations." Reuters did however note that at least one investor is buying Tesla's stock rather than selling. The investor is none other than Tesla's CEO Elon Musk who exercised options worth about $100 million on January 27.
