Will Tesla be around for that much longer? Elon Musk, stock drops, Tweet scares

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Tesla shares dropped nearly 9 percent after the New York Times reported stress is taking a heavy toll on CEO Elon Musk.

In the devastating report, Musk told the Times he has been working up to 120 hours a week and taking Ambien to get to sleep.

Musk created a stir last week when he tweeted that he wanted to take Tesla private.
