Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges
  • The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

  • Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.
