Speaking on invite-only social networking app Clubhouse, Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk stepped briefly away from debating the existence of aliens and the merits of wiring a monkey’s brain so that it can play video games to stress that Tesla’s battery suppliers need to increase their production of battery cells.
“It’s important to emphasize to our suppliers, we’re not trying to put them out of business, we want them to increase their rate,” Musk said Monday.
