A major Tesla backer doesn't fear an SEC-inspired ouster of CEO Elon Musk, according to a new report by Barron's.

Baillie Gifford is the second-largest stakeholder in Tesla behind Musk. The U.K.-based investment firm owns 7.7 percent of the company — or roughly $3.8 billion worth — according to FactSet.
