Part 13/16:
Tesla has announced the addition of a new independent director with a strong financial background, Jack Harten. Uniquely, Harten has chosen to waive immediate compensation, a move that raises questions but also reflects a cautious approach to potential shareholder litigation and underscores his commitment.
Speculation also persists regarding Elon Musk’s role within Tesla’s governance. Rumors suggest that he could transition from Chairman to just CEO, aiming to balance operational leadership with governance concerns—though nothing has been officially confirmed.
