📰 Tesla's Bold Move: Searching for a New CEO
Tesla’s board of directors has reportedly initiated the search for a potential successor to Elon Musk as CEO. 📊 This decision comes amidst growing concerns over Musk's increasing involvement in political matters, especially his role in the Department of Government Efficiency during the Trump administration. With Musk’s attention divided between various ventures, including SpaceX, Twitter (X), and political engagements, some board members are worried this could affect Tesla’s performance.
