Tesla board opened search for a CEO to succeed Elon Musk, WSJ reports
The current status of the board's push, which, according to the report, was sparked by Musk's heavy involvement with the Trump administration, could not be determined, WSJ said. That follows widespread investor criticism for his work at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he has led efforts to cut federal jobs, while sales of Tesla's aging EV lineup have been on the decline. His embrace of far-right politics in Europe has also led to protests against Musk and the company as well as vandalism at its showrooms and charging stations across the U.S. and Europe.
