Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of X Holdings Corp., speaks at the Milken Institute's Global Conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel,on May 6, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. PARIS, France — Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday that he doesn't support President Biden's recent announcement of a tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. "Neither Tesla nor I asked for these tariffs," Musk said during a question and answer session at the VivaTech conference Wednesday in Paris. "Tesla competes quite well in the market in China with no tariffs and no deferential support," Musk said Thursday. It's a change of tune for Musk, who suggested earlier this year that Chinese EV companies will crush competitors elsewhere in the absence of trade restrictions.

Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of X Holdings Corp., speaks at the Milken Institute's Global Conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel,on May 6, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. Tesla could use more of high-profile CEO Elon Musk's divided focus at a critical juncture for the electric vehicle industry, former board member Steve Westly said Thursday. And it appears now that Mr Musk's focus is in too many areas," Westly told CNBC at the annual VivaTech conference in Paris. Tesla could use more of it," said Westly, who is managing director of venture capital firm The Westly Group and an early Tesla investor. Just how much of a liability Musk is for Tesla, however, Westly said was "for the board to decide."

Tesla is being accused of taking steps to keep employees in Buffalo, New York, from unionizing, according to a complaint from the National Labor Relations Board. The policy restricted Tesla workers from "recording, unauthorized solicitating [sic] or promoting," and "creating channels and distribution lists," among other things, the complaint said. The Tesla Buffalo plant was supposed to manufacture solar panels, but has been used more recently to assemble electric vehicle charging equipment, and to house a team of AI software data labelers. Last month, the Buffalo plant was home to a number of job cuts put in place as part of a broader restructuring at the electric vehicle company. Tesla has also faced workers' rights challenges in Europe.

Darren Woods, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corp, speaks during the 2024 CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston, Texas, US, on Monday, March 18, 2024. Exxon CEO Darren Woods said Monday that the dispute with Chevron over Hess Corporation 's oil assets in Guyana likely will not be resolved until 2025. "This is an important arbitration obviously not only for Exxon Mobil but for Chevron and Hess," Woods said. Exxon is claiming a right of first refusal on Hess' assets in Guyana under a joint operating agreement that governs a consortium that is developing the South American nation's prolific oil resources. The CEO has repeatedly expressed confidence that Exxon will prevail in the dispute, saying the company wrote the agreement that governs the consortium.

Natural gas demand will likely outpace expectations as electricity consumption surges from artificial intelligence and data centers, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth told CNBC on Monday. "It's a little hard to quantify right now because this is evolving so quickly on the AI side," Wirth told CNBC's Sara Eisen at the Milken Institute's Global Conference in Los Angeles. "But I think demand for natural gas is likely to be higher than what people have been estimating up until now." Wirth said the move to electrify the nation's vehicle fleet, heating and manufacturing as well as the increase in demand from data centers will require reliable and affordable backup power generation. Wind and solar offer affordable power in some regions, but they still face challenges in generating enough electricity to meet peak demand because they rely on variable weather conditions, the Chevron CEO said.

Reid Hoffman took a dig at Elon Musk over his stance on AI in a Milken Institute talk this week. Musk has signed a letter backing an AI development pause, but also wants to make a ChatGPT rival. Hoffman said, "Elon, while signing that letter, is trying to hire a whole team and stand up an AI effort." Elon Musk has some incongruous views on AI development, and LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman pointed that out in a recent talk. On CNBC's "Squawk Box" last month, Hoffman said he disliked the idea of pressing pause on AI and criticized Musk over his stance on AI development.
During a panel, Ashton Kutcher said that companies not using AI tools like ChatGPT will shutter. In fact, actor-turned-investor Ashton Kutcher is so impressed that he thinks businesses that aren't using AI tools will suffer. "If you're a company, and you're sleeping on this, you're probably going to be out of business," he said about ChatGPT during a panel at the Milken Institute's Global Conference on Monday. Education, for instance, will be revolutionized by AI, Kutcher said. Kutcher's thoughts on AI come in response to the meteoric rise of generative AI tools.
