Elon Musk Insists on Approving Every New Tesla Hire.

Elon Musk has sent an email to Tesla staff stating that he must approve all new hires, including contractors. The CEO wants to "gain a better understanding of our hiring" and has asked executives to send him a list of their department hiring requests once a week. This move may indicate that Musk is shifting his focus back to Tesla after finding a new CEO for Twitter. Tesla shares rose on the news, and investors appeared to celebrate the move.
