But while KoGuan remains"stupidly loyal" to Tesla and continues to buy up shares, he has recently soured on Musk, who has turned his attention to Twitter after taking it over last year. "Elon abandoned Tesla and Tesla has no working CEO," KoGuan Tweeted on December 14."Tesla needs and deserves to have working full time CEO."KoGuan, 67, was born in Indonesian, went to school in the US, and now lives in Singapore.
