Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm has firmly denied recent reports alleging that the company's board of directors is actively searching for a new CEO to replace Elon Musk. In a statement released earlier today, Denholm labeled the claims as "absolutely false."

These reports cited unnamed sources and speculated about the board's concerns regarding Musk's divided attention across Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures.
Denholm's statement aims to dispel these rumors and reassure investors and employees. While she acknowledged the constant speculation surrounding the company, she emphasized the board's full support for Musk's continued leadership. Tesla has not released any further details regarding the source of the initial reports or any internal discussions on succession planning.
