Tesla board should take on an 'independent, active' role

Even while the stock is down nearly 29% year-to-date, Tesla (TSLA) shareholders voted in approval of CEO Elon Musk's pay package. "That's a pretty remarkable statement of confidence on their part. What I said was it does not take anything away from the enormous scale of his achievements in building Tesla and not just Tesla," Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy Lecturer and Picking Presidents Author Gautam Mukunda tells Market Domination Overtime. Based on Tesla's growth under Musk's leadership, Mukunda likens a Tesla without Elon Musk at the helm as a Ford without Henry Ford, stipulating Tesla's board should take a more hands-on approach with the company: "The board should take a much more independent and active role in the company. What I would say is that there is no such thing as a genius so brilliant that all of their ideas are good ones, or even their good ideas can't be improved by pressure from other smart, capable people. I think the board has given him sort of total freedom to do whatever he wants" For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination Overtime.
