Top Tesla investor’s shocking plea exposed.
One of Tesla’s earliest and most influential investors, Ross Gerber, has made a bombshell plea for Elon Musk to step down as CEO.
Musk’s expanding responsibilities highlighted.
This year, Musk was appointed Head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with overseeing federal spending cuts.
In addition to his government role, Musk has become a close ally to former President Donald Trump, further pulling his attention away from Tesla.
Musk’s responsibilities don’t end there—he was also tasked with bringing NASA astronauts back to Earth after they were stranded on the ISS for nearly 10 months.
Shocking plea for Musk’s exit revealed.
Gerber, a prominent wealth manager, believes Musk’s mounting distractions outside Tesla are pulling the CEO away from his true priorities—leading the electric car giant.
Gerber argues that Musk’s deepening political involvement has left Tesla in a precarious position, with the company suffering from neglect and distraction.
Gerber says that Musk’s political ties have made Tesla a “political symbol,” which may turn off potential buyers looking for an apolitical, tech-focused brand.
The company’s image has taken a hit, with protests, public anger, and even arson attacks on Tesla showrooms around the world.
“I think Tesla needs a new CEO,” Gerber announced, adding that the time has come for a change at the top.
Geber’s wake-up call detailed.
Gerber said this was the first time he’d publicly called for a new CEO, signaling a growing sense of urgency within the company.
“The business has been neglected for too long,” Gerber continued, emphasizing that the situation was dire and required immediate attention.
Gerber suggested that Musk must either fully commit to running Tesla or step aside to focus on his other endeavors.
The tension between Musk’s many roles—from CEO of Tesla to government positions and political affiliations—has become increasingly untenable for the business.
Gerber pointed to Tesla’s alarming stock decline, which has lost over $800 billion in value since December 2024, as a clear sign of trouble.
According to Gerber, the situation at Tesla is “absolutely” a crisis, as stockholders worry about Musk’s ability to lead the company through tough times.
In response to his concerns, Gerber revealed that he had sold off a significant portion of his Tesla shares in recent months.
Tesla faces multiple challenges, including slowing demand for electric vehicles in Western markets and rising competition from Chinese manufacturers.
Even Tesla’s highly anticipated October Robotaxi event received a lukewarm reception, adding to the growing list of disappointments for the company.
Looming challenges for Tesla clarified.
Compounding the issue, Tesla’s production costs are expected to rise due to the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China, creating even more uncertainty for the company.
Musk’s acquisition of X (formerly Twitter) in 2022 has only fueled a wave of controversy, distracting him even further from his core role at Tesla.
As the world’s richest man, Musk has become a lightning rod for criticism, with many wondering whether his leadership style is harming Tesla’s reputation.
Gerber’s harsh words on Musk’s leadership profiled.
“The company’s reputation has just been destroyed by Elon Musk,” Gerber declared, expressing his frustration with the CEO’s handling of Tesla’s image.
According to Gerber, Tesla’s sales are plummeting, and the company can’t seem to move its products despite having the “best product in the marketplace.”
Gerber attributes Tesla’s declining sales to Musk’s polarizing presence, with his political stances and public controversies turning off potential customers.
Gerber is calling for stable leadership at Tesla, saying the company can’t continue to function under Musk’s current divided focus.
As Musk focuses more on political endeavors and his other companies, Tesla’s internal challenges grow. Gerber believes this is unsustainable.
With protests and angry consumers turning their backs on the brand, Tesla’s reputation may be the company’s biggest hurdle going forward.
Could Tesla survive without Musk?
Many are now questioning if Tesla can continue to thrive without Musk at the helm, given the mounting challenges it faces.
If Musk doesn’t return his focus to Tesla, the company’s future remains uncertain as Gerber’s call for change echoes through the ranks.
As the stakes get higher, the question remains: Is Musk’s absence from the day-to-day operations of Tesla a detriment to the company’s long-term survival?
If Tesla hopes to recover and thrive, Gerber argues, it needs a CEO who can dedicate their full attention to the business, not a billionaire stretched too thin.
The pressure is mounting, and Tesla’s investors are looking for answers—will Elon Musk step down, or will Tesla be left to flounder under his divided attention?
