Tesla Inc. has hired Brandon Ehrhart to oversee its legal department, filling the top role after Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said last year he wanted to build a “hardcore” team.
Ehrhart revealed on LinkedIn that he assumed the role as Tesla’s general counsel and corporate secretary in January after departing Dish Network Corp. The carmaker confirmed the hiring in a tweet Friday following Bloomberg’s report.
