Summary

Multiple Tesla executives and board members, including James Murdoch, Robyn Denholm, Kimball Musk, and CFO Vaibhav Taneja, have sold over $100 million in company stock amid a 50% price decline since December.

Tesla's market cap has dropped $800 billion, reducing Elon Musk's net worth by approximately $100 billion.

The selloff coincides with consumer backlash against Musk's role in the Trump administration as head of DOGE.
