Tesla names Larry Ellison and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson to board after SEC settlement

Tesla named Larry Ellison and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson to its board on Friday, in compliance with an SEC settlement. The appointments add needed business and human resources expertise to the board — though add to questions about CEO Elon Musk's influence over the board.

Wilson-Thompson is the global head of human resources at Walgreens Boots Alliance and a former executive at Kellogg. Ellison is co-founder and executive chairman of Oracle, and recently disclosed a massive personal stake in Tesla.

[...] A Tesla spokesperson downplayed Ellison and Musk's personal relationship, saying the two had only socialized a handful of times and always in a group setting. The spokesperson said Musk and Ellison had not spoken for about a year leading up to Ellison's appointment to the board.

    The "living in a simulation" stuff though, yeah that's still a bit weird.

    Way too much attention is paid to that scenario when it's just physicists pranking the media.

    But if we do manage to create Matrix-like neural lace VR, then we can talk about it again. Wait, shit, it already exists and I'm part of the simulation. Break out of here, Vocal Minority!
