Elon Musk’s attempt to take Tesla Inc. private will receive added scrutiny this week as the electric-car maker’s board meets with advisers to assess a proposal that’s drawn interest from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.

The fund, which recently built a stake just shy of 5 percent, is exploring how it can be involved, the people said on condition of anonymity.
