Among the nearby proximity of CEO Elon Musk to Trump and the promises of the new president of less regulation, the company seemed prepared to continue growing in 2025.

A financial expert has a plan to save Tesla, but Musk will not like
As the decline of Tesla shares has accelerated in recent months, more and more experts have sounded the alarm about the lack of leadership of Musk and the risks it raises for the company.
His work with the so -called government efficiency department (Doge) has to distract a lot, and its proximity to Trump has not helped protect Tesla from the impact of recent automatic tariffs.

Now, Trump has revealed that Musk will leave his administration in the near future, possibly because his 130 -day period assigned as a special government employee is coming to an end. But a Tesla investor thinks that is not enough and says it is time for Musk to give up as CEO of Tesla.
Ross Gerber has been a Tesla investor for a long time, and has made it clear that he believes that the company is better without a musk. Gerber serves as president and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, which has approximately 262,352 TSLA shares as of February 2025.
While that does not make it one of Tesla's greatest shareholders, Gerber is very focused on pressing Tesla to make a leadership change. He recently accused Musk of being too focused on his work in Doge, but now argues that CEO is committing Tesla in other ways.

Leaving Doge is a good start, but does not change your tweets daily. The Tesla brand is severely contaminated at this point. The damage is done. <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24TSLA&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$ Tsla

From Gerber's perspective, the only way to save Tesla is whether he advances without musk, as he said in a recent interview.
“With Tesla, it's simple. You get another face from Tesla,” he said. “It could be anyone, any CEO, someone who is in the middle, who is a great communicator, who refers to people in what Tesla really does. I have been saying this for two years. Tesla needs to be Tesla.”

Gerber also highlighted Musk's impetuous behavior on social networks as an important factor, stating that even if he leaves doge, he will not change his habit of sharing inappropriate things, which he sees as a Tesla brand. “My anger rises that he says incredibly insult to people constantly,” he added.
Gerber believes that Tesla stock could recover if Musk is willing to resign
As someone who follows Tesla closely, Gerber believes that the company still has a significant potential and could change with the right leadership. But he has made it absolutely clear that he thinks that means anyone who is not a musk taking the helm.
Although TSLA's actions have currently dropped 37% in the year in which on the date (YTD), Gerber predicts that he can fall even more. Specifically, he believes that he can correct 50% from his current price of less than $ 250 per share.

“That implies that Tesla's shares fell to around $ 141, which would represent a decrease of approximately 67% of the maximum of all times of the shares,” he reports, “he reports Business internadding that he previously made the cunning prediction that 50%would fall.
Tesla's actions can see a slight increase in the near future if Musk continues with his plan to leave doge. When he held a meeting of all the hands earlier this month, the actions increased rapidly, although he did not provide too much reassuring information.
But Gerber sees the damage he has done as severe that the only way to save the company is that Musk renounces and allows investors to focus on their technology, not on publications on the social networks of its CEO.
