Was Tesla Trying to Replace Elon Musk as CEO? | Pivot

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway discuss a Wall Street Journal report claiming Tesla’s board was searching for a successor to Elon Musk — a claim the company calls “absolutely false.” They also weigh in on Trump’s combative ABC interview, and his Grinch-like warning about fewer toys this holiday season. Plus, strong earnings from Meta and Microsoft, and Jeff Bezos bends the knee to Trump (But is anyone really surprised?).
