Tesla's stock is down sharply in Friday trading. One likely reason for that: CEO Elon Musk tweeted that "Tesla stock price is too high imo."
Musk posted that tweet at 11:11am Eastern time. At the time, Tesla's stock was worth around $760—down less than 3 percent from Thursday's closing price of $781.
By 11:30, the stock plunged to $722, a 5 percent fall in 19 minutes. It has since fallen further to around $710—about 9 percent lower than Thursday's closing price. The broader stock market is down less than 3 percent today.
