Elon Musk demands 25% ownership of Tesla, threatens to halt AI and robotics development

American businessman and investor, Elon Musk is demanding 25% ownership of Tesla and has also threatened to halt artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics development for the company.

Musk made the demand in a recent post shared on his official X handle, which appears to confirm and even clarify what can be seen as a threat to Tesla shareholders.

Recall that Musk had asserted in the past that Tesla is a robotics and AI company on multiple occasions. The billionaire businessman also declared that without self-driving, its primary AI product, Tesla is essentially nothing.
