Elon Musk is being told to shut the fuck up by one of his stockholders:

The car maker’s [Tesla] brand image has also taken a hit in recent months, partly because of Mr. [Elon] Musk’s involvement with Twitter and because of some of the comments he has made on the platform, according to brand surveys.

“If Elon would just hire a new CEO [for Twitter] and stop tweeting his very conservative, political views, I think the stock could bottom here,” Mr. [Gary] Black said of Mr. Musk’s involvement in the social-media platform.[2]
