Summary

A major early Tesla investor, Ross Gerber, has called for Elon Musk to step down as CEO unless he abandons his role in Trump's DOGE.

In an interview with Sky News, Gerber declared Tesla is "absolutely in crisis," citing neglect of the business while Musk pursues widening interests.

Tesla's market value has plunged over $800 billion since December amid slumping demand, Chinese competition, potential trade war impacts, and controversy surrounding Musk's government role.

Gerber claims Musk's divisiveness has "destroyed" Tesla's reputation despite having "the best product in the marketplace."

Wow what a great point. There surely can't be any other reason why China would want to get EVs into as many peoples driveways worldwide as possible, right? Must just be greed. Damn greedy Chinese, going around causing or abusing conflict to make profit and putting out all this horrible propaganda about western nations. My good ole USA has never done anything wrong, its so obvious!
