Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb and chairman of Airbnb.org, during South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, U.S., on Sunday, March 13, 2022. Tesla has added Airbnb co-founder, designer, and billionaire Joe Gebbia as an independent member to its board of directors according to a regulatory filing out Wednesday. Adding Gebbia to the Tesla board may help Tesla avoid further conflict with the SEC, which has initiated multiple probes to determine that Musk and Tesla remain in compliance with their agreement. However, Gebbia remains on the Airbnb board and serves as chairman of Airbnb.org, the company's affiliated nonprofit that provides housing to people displaced in times of crisis, including those impacted by natural disasters and global conflicts. Gebbia has not been assigned to any Tesla board committees yet.
