Friday 5 August 2022 05:01 PM Elon Musk says Tesla will succeed even if he 'was kidnapped by aliens' - noting ... trends now
With the Twitter turmoil hanging a dark cloud of Elon Musk, shareholders worry the CEO could step down from his role at Tesla if forced to purchase the platform, but Musk ensured them his talented team could continue the work even if he 'was kidnapped by aliens' or returned to his home planet.
The humorous remarks were made during Tesla's 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held Thursday at the company's new headquarters in Austin, Texas, and were given during the Q&A portion of the presentation.
The question came from Tesla bull and managing partner of The Future Fund, Gary Black, who asked: 'So how does the board think about your succession and especially when you a judge who's going to decide in a couple months whether or not you have to take over Twitter. How would you split your time?'
After ensuring the crowd Tesla would live on, Musk then said 'I am not leaving to be clear.'
