Sen. Elizabeth Warren asks Tesla’s board to probe Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest
Senator Elizabeth Warren has asked Tesla Inc.’s board to investigate whether Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk is using the electric-vehicle maker’s resources to benefit other companies he owns and runs.
In a 10-page letter sent Thursday to Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm, the Democratic senator said Musk’s activities — like diverting computer chips from the carmaker to his social media company X Corp. — may be inappropriate. Musk acknowledged in June he sent the graphics processing units to X and artificial intelligence venture xAI Corp., saying they would have otherwise sat in a warehouse.
