> Efforts are underway to find a No. 2 executive to help take some of the pressure off Mr. Musk, people briefed on the search said.

I don't know how anyone could read this and not realise that's a direct search for a replacement CEO. With the best will in the world, Musk has a dozen people at Tesla who COULD pick up some of the slack, the issue isn't not having the right people, the issue is that he won't hand anything off. I don't see that changing.
