Tesla needs Elon Musk to start looking for his potential successor as CEO, given the enormous level of stress he is under. Longtime Tesla investor Ross Gerber told Business Insider.
“A lot of Elon’s fans seem to think he’s not human, and I don’t agree with that. This huge level of stress from the leadership of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter at once is bad for his health, ”he said.
Gerber assured that in such a situation he cannot be sure that Musk is able to work as much as possible for the benefit of Tesla. He also indicated that some major shareholders agree with him.
According to the publication, Gerber plans to run for the Tesla board of directors and is backed by Tesla’s third-largest shareholder, Leo Koguang.
“I am concerned regarding the well-being and health of Elon, regardless of how Tesla operates,” the businessman added.
Musk himself admitted that the constant leadership of the three companies affected his well-being. He also noted that he “would not wish such pain on anyone,” talking regarding working to save Twitter from bankruptcy.
Earlier it was reported that Tesla is considering a takeover of Sigma Lithium Corp., which mines lithium, the main element in batteries for electric cars.
