Not stepping down as Tesla CEO, company will start advertising soon: Musk

Elon Musk on Tuesday dismissed speculation that he might step down as Tesla's CEO and told the company's annual shareholders meeting that the the electric car and solar panel company would start doing some advertising. Say it ain't so, one shareholder asked Musk about stepping down as Tesla's leader. It ain't so, he replied without further discussion. When another shareholder suggested that Tesla try advertising, Musk said he is open to it. This has some merit, he said to the shareholder at the meeting at Tesla's factory site near Austin in Texas. We'll try a little advertising and see how it goes. Tesla famously has avoided paying for advertising like its competitors, relying a lot on Musk's ability to generate free publicity he has 140 million followers on Twitter, the social media company bought for USD 44 billion last fall. Musk told shareholders that the company's Full Self-Driving software is getting close to where it's safer than human driving. He previously has said the .

Tesla lawyers want court to reconsider Musk tweet deemed 'threat'

Lawyers for Tesla have asked a federal appeals court to reconsider its ruling that CEO Elon Musk unlawfully threatened employees with a loss of stock options in a 2018 Twitter post amid a union organizing effort. Three judges on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, in a March ruling, upheld a National Labor Relations Board order that the tweet be deleted. The panel also upheld an order that a fired Tesla employee be rehired with back pay. The case arose from United Auto Workers' organizing efforts at a Tesla facility in Fremont, California. Tesla attorneys want the full 17-member court to rehear the case. The panel ruling, they argue in a Monday evening filing, conflicts with Supreme Court and appellate court precedents regarding First Amendment free speech protections. And they said the employee in the case was properly fired for giving false information during an investigation of employee harassment. Musk tweeted on May 20, 2018: Nothing stopping Tesla team at ou

Can't find Musk to serve subpoena in Epstein lawsuit: US Virgin Islands

The government of the US Virgin Islands told a federal judge Monday that it can't find billionaire Elon Musk to serve him with a subpoena for documents in its lawsuit seeking to hold JPMorgan Chase liable for sex trafficking acts committed by businessman Jeffrey Epstein. It wants to serve his electric vehicle company instead. Lawyers asked Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan in a court filing to let it serve the subpoena on Tesla Inc. because it has not been able to give the papers to Musk or his lawyers since it issued the subpoena on April 28. They said they hired an investigative firm to search public records databases for possible addresses for Musk and reached out to one of his lawyers by email but received no response. A message sent to a lawyer for Musk seeking comment on Monday was not immediately returned. The government of the US Virgin Islands said it believes Epstein may have referred or tried to refer Musk to JPMorgan. It sued JPMorgan last year, saying its investigation ha

Is Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino heading toward a glass cliff?

Less than two months into his USD 44 billion purchase of Twitter, Elon Musk declared that whoever took over as the company's CEO must like pain a lot. Then he promised he'd step down as soon as he found a replacement foolish enough to want the job. That person, Musk announced Friday, is Linda Yaccarino, a highly-regarded advertising executive from NBCUniversal. She'll start in six weeks. How long she'll last might depend on her pain tolerance. When Musk tweeted on Thursday that he's found a new CEO but didn't say who, one word stuck out: she. Some of his more extreme Twitter followers took immediate issue with the new CEO's gender, but the fact that Musk hired a woman is actually notable simply because it is so rare in business overall and especially in the tech industry to see female chief executives. Her appointment renewed questions about the glass cliff, a theory that women as well as underrepresented minorities are more likely to be hired for leadership jobs when there's a
