Tesla Investor Calls for Elon Musk's Resignation Amidst Concerns Over Leadership
Investor Ross Gerber argues that Musk's divisive image warrants his departure as CEO as Tesla faces declining sales and share prices.
A significant voice among Tesla's investors has publicly urged CEO Elon Musk to step down, citing concerns over his increasingly polarizing figure in the wake of his political engagements.
Ross Gerber, one of Tesla's early investors, expressed his views in a recent interview, suggesting that Musk's public persona has become a liability for the automotive manufacturer, especially following his involvement in the administration of former President Donald Trump.
In the wake of declining sales figures in key markets, Tesla has seen its stock price drop by 15% in a single day in March, with a cumulative decrease of 53% over the last three months.
As the company faces challenges in both European and Chinese markets, analysts have consistently revised their forecasts for Tesla's annual performance downwards, questioning whether the company’s stock is overvalued.
This criticism occurs against a backdrop of a complicated relationship between Musk and Trump.
Historically, the two figures have had a contentious exchange; Musk previously suggested that Trump was too old to be re-elected, to which Trump retorted that he could easily bring Musk to his knees.
In the current political climate, Musk's actions and statements continue to evoke varying public and investor reactions, influencing perceptions of Tesla as a company engaged in innovative automotive solutions and sustainability efforts.
