As a dedicated gamer, I’m pumped up about the news that Tesla’s board is gearing up to take the company to new heights! According to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, they’ve been in touch with potential firms for a while now, aiming to find a fresh CEO who can help us, Tesla fans, experience even greater things.
On April 30, 2025, a report from the Wall Street Journal came out revealing that Tesla’s board was actively seeking a new leader due to Elon Musk’s distractions. Prior to the US presidential election, Musk had been vocal in his support for Donald Trump and later took on a role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). As a result, Tesla has faced several setbacks, including a drop in its stock value and a decline in sales.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the board held a meeting with Musk for an update, during which they expressed concern about his time commitment towards Tesla. In a TSLA Q1 2025 earnings call, Musk mentioned that he would decrease his involvement with DOGE substantially, starting from May. However, it’s yet to be seen if this will address the board’s requirement for a consistent and available leader. The Journal reports that the status of succession planning is unclear, as Musk did not respond to requests for comment.
It’s not unexpected that the Tesla board might consider replacing Elon Musk as CEO given the challenges Tesla has faced over the past year. The company’s reputation and market value have suffered, and Musk’s association with Trump has caused some to boycott or even damage Tesla vehicles, which were previously seen as symbolizing social progress. Additionally, the tariff situation has posed difficulties for Tesla, especially since it has a factory in Shanghai and relies heavily on Chinese suppliers for battery pack assembly.
A twist for readers could be that the Wall Street Journal article concludes with a remark from the board directors. As per the article, these directors express their belief that Musk’s association with Trump could bring advantages to the company in the long run. Let’s see if this holds true.
