Tesla shareholders need Elon Musk to start identifying potential successors, Ross Gerber says.
  • Ross Gerber is a longtime Tesla bull who's campaigning for a seat on the EV maker's board.
  • Shareholders need Elon Musk to find potential successors in case his health declines, he said in a recent interview.
  • "Many of Elon's fans seem to think he's not human – and I disagree," Gerber told Insider.

Tesla shareholders need Elon Musk to start looking for his potential successor as CEO given the huge levels of stress he's under, according to a major investor in the EV maker.

Musk is the chief executive of three companies at once — Tesla, Twitter and SpaceX — and there's a risk that continuing to juggle those roles could lead to a decline in his health, Ross Gerber told Insider.
