Tesla CEO Elon Musk
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he was not comfortable running the electric car company without having at least 25% voting rights, double the current level. According to Tesla's financial report, in the third quarter of 2023, Musk owns 13% of the electric car company's shares. This is a big number, especially after he sold tens of billions of dollars in Tesla shares in 2022 to buy Twitter. However, Musk still wants more power at Tesla. "I cannot comfortably lead Tesla to become a leading company in AI and robotics without 25% voting rights. This is enough to influence, but not so large that no one can stop me," he wrote on X on January 15. Musk said if he couldn't do this, he would rather create the above products outside of Tesla. Musk has long touted Tesla's "full self-driving" software and human-like robots. In April 2022, Musk predicted that the humanoid robot Optimus "will be more valuable than self-driving cars and software".
