CEO of two companies adjusts some procurement from one company to the other.

If we weren't in a Two Minutes Hate against Elon Musk, this news would rightfully be a non-story.

A simpler explanation is Musk is not living up to his responsibilities as CEO of Tesla.

There's a clear conflict of interest. He's treating Tesla like it's his private business instead of the publicly traded company it is.

It's time for Musk to step down as CEO of Tesla.
