Tesla denies contacting headhunters to replace Musk [View all]
I dunno if I am convinced. What did it take to get a narcissist like Elon to recognize he has to step away from the political limelight and get back to his regular job? Elon is one of the biggest spreaders of horse shi.... err, false information. Who to believe? Who to believe?

The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the electric car firm's board began looking for a successor to Mr Musk last month.
It said this was because of frustration around Mr Musk's focus on his job in US President Donald Trump's administration and Tesla's sinking share price.
However, in statement on Thursday, Tesla said the report was "absolutely false" while Mr Musk wrote on his social media platform X that the paper was "a discredit to journalism".
Tesla chair Robyn Denholm wrote on X: "There was a media report erroneously claiming that the Tesla Board had contacted recruitment firms to initiate a CEO search at the company."
"This is absolutely false (and this was communicated to the media before the report was published)."
She added: "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."
