Tesla's Dead To Me Now: Rupert Murdoch's son in line to replace Elon Musk as Tesla chairman

Outgoing Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (FOXA.O) Chief Executive James Murdoch is the lead candidate to replace Elon Musk as Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) chairman, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing two people briefed on the discussions.

Tesla and Musk reached a settlement with U.S. Securities and Exchange regulators last month in which they agreed to pay $20 million each to financial regulators and that the billionaire would step down as chairman but remain as CEO.

or the fact that Tesla, SpaceX(and Musk) are strongly anti-union, etc.

Just because he's trying to mainstream electric cars and privatize space doesn't make him some type of leftist hero(actually kinda the opposite), he's a capitalist, his first priority is to accumulate capital for himself and his companies, you need to view him, and all other CEOs and entrepreneurs in that light.
