Indian-American Vaibhav Taneja, the current Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at Tesla, has been appointed as the Treasurer and Custodian of Records for Elon Musk’s recently established political venture , the America Party.

Musk announced the formation of the America Party via a post on his social media platform, X, stating its goal to “give Americans their freedom back” and challenge what he perceives as the country’s “one-party system”. Musk, who leads Tesla and SpaceX, emphasized the need to address the alleged wasteful spending and corruption within the existing political landscape.

Taneja’s official role within Musk’s political endeavor was confirmed through documentation submitted to the US Federal Election Commission (FEC), where he is listed as both Treasurer and Custodian of Records for the party. Vaibhav Taneja is a highly experienced financial executive with a background in commerce from Delhi University and a qualification as a Chartered Accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Beginning his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in India, Taneja relocated to the United States in 1999.

In 2016, Taneja joined SolarCity Corporation, a solar energy company, before transitioning to Tesla following its acquisition of SolarCity in 2017. He assumed the role of Corporate Controller before being promoted to Chief Accounting Officer in 2019 and subsequently Chief Financial Officer in 2023.

With a wealth of experience spanning over 17 years in various sectors including technology, retail, and telecom, Taneja possesses expertise in US GAAP, SEC filings, and financial audits. He has collaborated closely with senior executives and board members to optimize operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and mitigate financial risks.
