Shareholders Furious Over Leadership, Want Musk to Justify His Role Like His Own DOGE Team Had to

Tesla shareholders are growing increasingly frustrated with Elon Musk’s leadership, and now, they’re turning his own methods against him. Following a controversial internal email from Musk’s Dogecoin (DOGE) team, in which team members were forced to justify their contributions by listing five things they had done for the project, Tesla investors are flipping the script and demanding Musk do the same.

With Tesla’s stock price experiencing significant volatility, some investors feel that Musk’s attention is being pulled in too many directions—from Twitter (now X) to artificial intelligence, and even to his personal fascination with Dogecoin and other ventures. They argue that Tesla, a company once at the forefront of the EV revolution, is being neglected in favor of Musk’s personal interests.

 The Turning Point: Shareholders Call for Accountability

The leaked DOGE email—which was reportedly sent to members of Musk’s Dogecoin team—sparked outrage when it revealed that contributors were being asked to justify their positions by providing a list of their five biggest contributions. The implication? Those who couldn’t justify their value would be at risk of losing their roles.

Now, some Tesla investors are demanding Musk answer the same question about his role at Tesla:

“Elon, what five things have you done for Tesla shareholders lately?”

This bold challenge reflects growing frustration among investors who feel left in the dark while Musk shifts focus to his other interests, including X (formerly Twitter), AI, robotics, and cryptocurrency projects.

 The Demand for a Tesla “D.O.G.E.” Committee

A faction of investors is now pushing for a formal governance committee—dubbed the D.O.G.E. Committee (Decision Oversight & Governance Enforcement)—to hold Musk accountable for his leadership. The proposed committee would ensure that Tesla’s CEO remains focused on the company’s core mission rather than personal side projects.

Their argument is simple: if Musk believes in radical accountability, then he should be willing to answer the same tough questions he asks of his own teams.

 Investor Concerns: Is Musk Still Committed to Tesla?

The push for more oversight comes at a time when Tesla is facing key challenges, including:

• Stock Price Fluctuations: Tesla shares have been volatile, with investors questioning whether Musk’s external projects are impacting confidence in the company.
• EV Market Competition: Rivals like BYD, Ford, and Rivian are gaining ground, threatening Tesla’s once-dominant market position.
• AI and Robotaxi Prioritization: Musk has publicly declared that Tesla is “more of an AI company than an automaker,” leading some to wonder if the traditional EV business is being sidelined.
• Labor and Executive Departures: Several key Tesla executives have left in recent months, fueling speculation about instability at the top.
• Stockholder Representation: Many investors feel that Musk is making unilateral decisions without enough input from shareholders.

As the calls for greater accountability grow louder, the question remains: Will Tesla’s board take action? Or will Musk continue to operate unchecked?

 What’s Next?

While it remains to be seen whether Tesla will actually institute a D.O.G.E. Committee, the pressure is mounting. Some activist investors may push for shareholder resolutions or even attempt to petition the board to formally evaluate Musk’s leadership.

At the very least, this movement signals a growing disconnect between Tesla’s CEO and its shareholders, many of whom feel that Musk needs to reaffirm his commitment to the company that made him the world’s richest man.

One thing is certain—investors are no longer staying silent.
