Top 20 US Stock Transactions: Tesla Returns Resignation Wave, Stock Price Falls by Over 5%. Tesla, ranked second, closed down 5.65% with a transaction volume of $17.145 billion. Various signs indicate that while the world's richest man Musk is enthusiastic about rockets, AI, and actively participating in the US election, the executives who have been fighting with him for more than a decade to build Tesla's electric car kingdom are leaving the company in search of new challenges. The latest case is Sreela Venkataratnam, Vice President of Finance and Operations at Tesla. She posted on the workplace social media platform on Wednesday that she has left Tesla after 11 years of working there.
