As investors question his commitment to the electric vehicle company, Musk has offered to step down as CEO.

In the past three months, the value of the company's shares has fallen by more than half. One of the most public pushbacks against the CEO of the company was from a billionaire who claims to be the third largest shareholder in the company. Koguan implied last week that the company's board should try to replace Musk with a "working full time CEO." Koguan said on Sunday that he wished Musk would stay on as the CEO of the company and that someone else would take over at the social networking site. Over the course of the past year, Musk has sold over 40 billion of his company's shares.
