Tesla investor urges Musk to step down as CEO

One of Tesla’s early investors has called on Elon Musk to step down as CEO of the car company if he continues his role in the government.

In an interview with Sky News, Ross Gerber, a wealth manager, argued that the billionaire has been more focused on Donald Trump’s politics than on running his business.

Gerber specifically pointed to Musk’s position within the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as the reason

Gerber said: "I think Tesla needs a new CEO and I decided today I was going to start saying it and so this is the first show that I'm saying it on."

"It's time for somebody to run Tesla. The business has been neglected for too long. There are too many important things Tesla is doing, so either Elon should come back to Tesla and be the CEO of Tesla and give up his other jobs or he should focus on the government and keep doing what he is doing but find a suitable CEO of Tesla", he added.
