At least it served to settle one thing for sure. The company lined up several executives at the event, who apparently are key personnel spearheading key line and staff functions, nullifying criticism that Tesla is a one-man show. ***See Also:** Everything You Need To Know About Tesla Stock* Musk may be the tech brain behind his EV venture, as his formal designation of "Technoking of Tesla" implies, but he is ably and adequately supported by a team of qualified executives.
