Absolutely false: Tesla chair denies report about replacing Musk as CEO
![]() 697 Thursday, 01 May, 2025, 11:15 After a report claimed that electric car maker Tesla’s board is planning to replace Elon Musk as CEO, Robyn Denholm, Chairman of the board of directors at Tesla Motors, on Thursday denied the report, saying “this is absolutely false “. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that as sales and profits tanked with Musk focusing on his work with the Donald Trump administration, “Tesla’s board began mulling a replacement, it also met with Musk, telling him he had to spend more time with Tesla”. “This is absolutely false (and this was communicated to the media before the report was published). The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk and the Board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead,” Denholm posted. Musk also reacted, saying “WSJ is a discredit to journalism”. According to the report, Tesla’s board beginning a search for a new chief executive and making demand on Musk would be a departure, as it “has traditionally been seen as extremely deferential to the billionaire”. |
