Tesla has denied reports suggesting it contacted recruitment firms to begin searching for a replacement for Elon Musk as CEO. On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal claimed that the electric car company’s board had started looking for Musk’s successor last month.

Tesla chair Robyn Denholm on Thursday denied a Wall Street Journal report that said board members had reached out to executive search firms to find a new replacement for CEO Elon Musk.

Robyn Denholm said the board is confident in Musk’s ability to “continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.”
