“I wish he would walk away,” said Gary Black, managing partner of the Future Fund LLC, which owns roughly $50 million worth of Tesla, according to FactSet.

The recent slide in Tesla’s stock price has prompted some, including Mr. Black, to press Tesla to repurchase its own shares. Buybacks can project confidence to investors and support stock prices by reducing a company’s share count. Tesla was sitting on roughly $17.5 billion in cash as of the first quarter.
