Robyn Denholm was appointed chair of Tesla after Elon Musk was forced to step down by the SEC.
Tesla chair Robyn Denholm said on Wednesday that she thinks Elon Musk uses Twitter"wisely."
Denholm was appointed chair in November after Musk was forced to step down by the SEC as part of his settlement with the agency over his infamous"funding secured" tweet. She also defended Musk over his more recent clash with the SEC over a tweet in which he falsely claimed Tesla would make 500,000 cars in 2019.In an interview following a speech in Sydney, Australia, on Wednesday, Denholm said Twitter is a fact of life for executives,"Twitter is part of everyday business for many executives today... From my perspective, he uses it wisely," she said after her appearance at the American Chamber of Commerce.
She added that Musk is not a challenge to corporate governance of Tesla."I don't think he poses any challenges... The company is running very well and the board itself is very engaged. We meet with him all the time," she said. Denholm was previously a director at Tesla before replacing Musk as chair in November, following his clash with the SEC over his infamous"funding secured" tweet. As well as slapping Musk and Tesla with fines worth $20 million, the SEC barred him from being chair of the company for at least three years.
