Tesla Bull Ross Gerber criticises Elon Musk
Tesla Bull and investor Ross Gerber is once again criticising Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This time Gerber has targeted the close relationship between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump. Gerber points out Musk’s close relationship with President Donald Trump as a factor in what he calls the “mess” surrounding America’s electric vehicle (EV) rollout. In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) Gerber accused Musk of being “personally partially responsible” for slowing the US transition to sustainable transportation. “Meanwhile Elon is personally partially responsible for now DECELERATING the transition to sustainable transportation and energy, at least in the US.” – I think this capsulizes many people’s thoughts on tesla/elon. $tsla,” wrote Gerber.
