Major Tesla investor says Elon Musk must choose: Tesla or Trump

An early investor in Tesla has called for Elon Musk to leave his post as the company’s CEO if he doesn’t depart from his current job focusing on cutting down the federal government.

Ross Gerber told Sky News that Musk has lost his focus and that he’s now too “divisive,” pointing to Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk’s slashing of federal agencies has prompted outrage and protests against Tesla, with owners being urged to sell their vehicles.

“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,” Gerber told Sky.

“It's time for somebody to run Tesla. The business has been neglected for too long,” he added. “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.”

The investor said the company is in crisis and that he has sold off a significant number of shares in the last few months. Its market value has dropped more than $800 billion since December,
