According to Odaily Planet Daily, US Senator Elizabeth Warren asked Tesla's board of directors to investigate whether CEO Elon Musk is using the electric car maker's resources to profit other companies he owns and operates.
Warren said in a 10-page letter sent Thursday to Tesla Chairwoman Robyn Denholm that Musk’s actions, such as moving computer chips from Tesla to his social media company X, may be inappropriate.
Musk confirmed in June that he would divert AI chips ordered for Tesla to X and xAI, saying they would otherwise remain in the warehouse. Warren believes that the transfer of chips may be a "diversion of company resources" and said that the creation of xAI itself is an "inevitable conflict of interest" for Musk.
