Tesla (TSLA, Financial) experienced a 3% drop in pre-market trading, with shares priced at $382.81. The decline follows the announcement by ABP, Europe's largest pension fund, that it sold its entire €571 million stake in Tesla during the third quarter of the previous year. This decision was partially driven by disagreements over Elon Musk's compensation package.

In June of the previous year, ABP had voted against Musk's controversial compensation plan, which was valued at over $50 billion, citing it as excessive. The fund's decision to divest from Tesla underscores ongoing concerns about executive pay and governance practices at the electric vehicle manufacturer.
