Rewritten Article:
Get your popcorn ready, folks! Seems like the biz whizzes at Tesla HQ are on the hunt for a fresh CEO to replace Elon Musk, according to a juicy nugget dropped by The Wall Street Journal!
Woo, let's dive in! The board reportedly reached out to executive recruiters a month back, sparking rumors of Elon's exit. But, they ain't spilling the beans yet on the status of succession planning—guess it's still hush-hush!
So, why the sudden need for a new CEO? Well, Tesla's been struggling with dwindling sales and profits. And, with the pressure mounting on Musk for his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he's been fighting tooth and nail to slash federal jobs, things ain't looking too peachy.
Musk has hinted he'll be pulling back from his gig with the Trump administration to give his Empire more TLC. But, it's unclear if Musk, who's also a member of the board, is in on this succession plan or if his new commitment to Tesla might've had something to do with it.
Tesla and ol' Elon refused to comment on the matter, so we're left in the dark for now. Stay tuned for more tea spillin'!
