Earlier this week, Gerber Kawasaki CEO Ross Gerber weighed in on reports that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) could explore separating its China operations amid discussions about a possible merger with Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX).
Gerber Says Tesla ‘Needs Tesla China’
"This Tesla China issue is no good for Tesla either. Tesla needs Tesla China," Gerber wrote on X.
He suggested Tesla could shift its autonomous-driving and robotics ambitions to SpaceX, adding, "Maybe Tesla should sell the robots and cabs to SpaceX and let Tesla be an EV company again."
Gerber’s comments came after The Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla advisers had discussed potential options for its China business, including a spinoff, sale or closure.
