September 13, 2025 – During an appearance on Bloomberg TV, Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm emphasized that artificial intelligence and autonomous driving stand as the top priorities for the company’s future development.
Denholm offered strong support for Tesla’s current CEO, Elon Musk, on the show. She described Musk as the “right” chief executive for Tesla during this transformative era, highlighting his unique ability to achieve what others could not. Denholm was unequivocal in her praise, stating that no one else could lead the company as effectively as Musk.
Earlier this month, Tesla’s board of directors unveiled a groundbreaking new compensation package for Musk, with a potential value of up to $1 trillion—an unprecedented figure in U.S. corporate history.
The plan is designed to encourage Musk to remain at the helm of Tesla for the long term. It sets out a series of ambitious goals, such as expanding Tesla’s nascent Robotaxi business and increasing the company’s market capitalization from around 1trilliontoatleast8.5 trillion over a 10-year period. The initiative aims not only to keep Musk focused on Tesla but also to drive the company’s growth in emerging fields like robotics and AI.
