Ross Gerber, a renowned Tesla investor and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, has offered his critique on Tesla's second-quarter report, describing it as dismal and devoid of optimism. Gerber pinpoints the company's primary issue as the public relations crisis engulfing CEO Elon Musk. As a solution, he proposes that Musk should take a hiatus from public scrutiny for at least a year to aid Tesla's recovery. The second-quarter report highlights a concerning trend: revenue fell by 12% year-on-year, net profit declined by 20.7% year-on-year, and global vehicle deliveries decreased by 13% year-on-year.
