Musk Fires Back at CEO Replacement Rumors
Elon Musk and Tesla chair Robyn Denholm just shut down claims that Tesla’s board is secretly hunting for a new CEO. The Wall Street Journal said exec search firms were tapped to replace Musk, but he clapped back, calling the story false and saying the board denied it before the piece ran. Imagine your name trending for being replaced—while you're still in charge. Musk wasn’t even asked for comment before it dropped.
