KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 18): Electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla Inc has denied a report that its law department leader heading an internal inquiry into purchase orders had left his job.
Citing three people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg had reported that David Searle left his position as Tesla’s head of legal less than a month ago.
However, Tesla denied the report in a tweet later on Wednesday (Aug 17) afternoon.
It is unclear if Searle was reassigned within the company.
"This Bloomberg article is false. David Searle has not left Tesla,” Tesla said in a tweet.
