Tesla publicly refuted reports about replacing Elon Musk, emphasizing the board’s confidence in his leadership. Rumors began when a purported media claim suggested otherwise.

“This is absolutely false. The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk. The board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.” source
