Elon Musk said he would rather build AI products outside of Tesla Inc if he doesn’t have 25% voting control, suggesting the billionaire may prefer a bigger stake in the world’s most valuable electric vehicle maker.
The Tesla chief executive officer, who currently owns more than 12% of the company according to data compiled by Bloomberg, argued in a post on X that the car company is a collection of a dozen startups. He called for a comparison between Tesla and General Motors Corp, traditionally one of the auto industry’s global leaders.
