Tesla Chairman: Musk's political participation is a personal decision

Robin Danholm, chairman of Tesla (TSLA.O), refuted concerns that Musk's political activities have caused the electric vehicle maker to decline in sales and said he would give him full autonomy in future election participation. "From a political perspective, his political motivation and what he does depends on himself. Obviously, we live in a democratic society, so everyone has the right to express their opinions," Danholm said. "In my opinion, in the long run, people buy what they really love. Tesla's vehicles are products that people really love." She also noted that after working in the White House for a few months, Musk is still at the "front and center" position at Tesla today.
