Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk doesn’t want to talk about whether he’s committed to bringing a low-cost electric vehicle to market, or the carmaker’s rough last few months.
The CEO largely avoided questions on the topics during a remote appearance Thursday at the VivaTech conference in Paris. He gave one reporter an indirect answer, then cut off a second journalist because he dislikes her publication.
