Tesla has refuted claims from the Wall Street Journal that it is searching for a successor to Elon Musk due to concerns over his focus on political roles and the company’s declining stock. Tesla’s chair Robyn Denholm stated that the report is “absolutely false,” emphasizing the board’s confidence in Musk’s leadership. Amid protests and potential boycotts linked to Musk’s political involvement, he has pledged to dedicate more time to Tesla while managing multiple high-profile roles, including his position in Trump’s administration.
