Tesla Chair Says Musk’s Political Engagement Is ‘Up to Him’

Musk Is the Right Leader for Tesla, Chair Robyn Denholm Says

Tesla Inc. Board Chair Robyn Denholm dismissed concerns that Elon Musk’s political activity has hurt the performance of the electric vehicle maker and gave him wide latitude on future electoral engagement.

“What he does from a personal perspective in terms of his political motivations is up to him,” Denholm said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Friday. “From a politics perspective, obviously we’re in a democracy, so everybody gets to voice their points of view.”
