Tesla Elon Musk seems to be facing a lot of flak lately, accusing him of ignoring the electric car company. The latest criticism comes from Leo Koguan, the company’s third-largest shareholder with 22.7 million shares, equivalent to about $3.6 billion. He believes Elon Musk has effectively abandoned Tesla and the automaker’s CEO should be replaced. This comes after Musk sold $22 million worth of Tesla stock this week for about $3.58 billion.

Koguan has tweeted that Elon has given up on Tesla and that it has no current CEO. “Tesla needs and should have a full-time CEO,” he further wrote.

Tesla investors have often accused him of neglecting the automaker and focusing more on his newly acquired company.

Some have speculated that the Tesla CEO sold so much of the electric carmaker’s stock specifically to fund his Twitter acquisition, which he reportedly completed for $44 billion, despite his earlier discovery A number of fake bot accounts registered on the platform changed their minds. .
