Tesla to live stream on X, not Youtube for Cybertruck Event
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
In a recent development, Tesla has confirmed that the upcoming Cybertruck delivery event will be streamed exclusively on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter and now under the leadership of Elon Musk. This decision has sparked a debate regarding Musk's influence in leveraging his businesses to support each other, especially considering Tesla's status as a publicly traded company.
In 2022, Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion and subsequently took the company private. Musk, already at the helm of Tesla and SpaceX, assumed the roles of CEO, CTO, and Executive Chair at Twitter, which he later renamed X. Earlier this year, he appointed Linda Yaccarino as CEO of X, partially relieving himself of his duties there.
