Tesla Board of Director(s),
I hope this letter finds you well. As a dedicated Tesla owner and investor, I feel compelled to express my deep concern regarding recent developments surrounding Elon Musk’s involvement with both Tesla and his engagements outside the company. While I appreciate and respect Mr. Musk's contributions to Tesla's innovation and growth, I believe that his current focus and public behavior may be detrimental to the company's reputation and future success.
It is essential for a company of Tesla's stature and mission to have leadership that is fully committed and aligned with its core values. As you are aware, public perception and investor confidence play a crucial role in the sustainability and growth of any organization. Unfortunately, Mr. Musk's recent actions and statements, particularly his association with political figures and controversial matters, IS undermining the trust that customers, investors, and the broader public have in the Tesla brand.
I urge the board to consider taking prompt action to address this situation. This could involve either facilitating Mr. Musk’s re-engagement with Tesla to ensure he focuses primarily on the company's objectives or, if necessary, convening an emergency vote to reevaluate his position within the organization. Protecting Tesla’s mission, vision, and stakeholder interests should always take precedence, and it is imperative that we move decisively to uphold the principles that Tesla stands for.
I remain hopeful that the board will prioritize Tesla’s long-term success, and I trust you will make the right decisions in this critical time. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to seeing how the board addresses these concerns moving forward.
Sincerely,
Concerned United States of America Citizen, Tesla Owner and Investor
