Context: In 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Elon Musk for falsely tweeting that he had secured funding for a private takeover of Tesla. To settle the case, Musk stepped down as the chairman of Tesla and paid a $20 million fine.

Federal prosecutors are currently probing whether Tesla’s company resources were used to supply personal benefits to CEO Elon Musk as early as 2017... according to people familiar with the investigation who also said prosecutors have made allusions to the involvement of a grand jury—indicating potential criminal charges, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has stated that the Senate should investigate Elon Musk's alleged role in thwarting a Ukrainian drone from attacking Russia's naval fleet last year in the Black Sea.

Additionally, Musk is at the center of numerous other controversies and lawsuits, including surrounding his management of X, previously known as Twitter.

Will Elon Musk remain as CEO (or Technoking) of Tesla and of SpaceX until January 1, 2025?

RESOLUTION: this question resolves YES if Musk remains as CEO (or the top executive level position regardless of the nominal title such as Technoking) of BOTH Tesla AND SpaceX until January 1, 2025. This question resolves NO if Musk is no longer CEO (or no longer holds the top executive level position) of EITHER Tesla OR SpaceX prior to January 1, 2025.

DISCLAIMER: I believe there is a decent chance Musk may not remain as CEO of either Tesla or SpaceX by the end of 2024 and thus will likely place a bet on this being the outcome, but will certainly resolve this question fairly.
