Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens DynamIK, Wa Pure Water, dfoud for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com news on December 8, according to Pindong report, learned through reliable sources: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed his replacement as Tesla global CEO: Tesla is currently global vice president and Greater China CEO Zhu Xiaotong (Tom Zhu).

According to the report, different sources have revealed that Zhu Xiaotong's "CEO" position is a global position, but the scope of responsibilities may be limited to the automotive business, excluding autopilot and robot projects.

According to public information, Zhu Xiaotong joined Tesla Automobile Company in April 2014 as project director of Tesla China supercharging station. In December 2014, Wu Bicheng, Tesla's global vice president and president of China, left, and Zhu Xiaotong, project director of the supercharging station, took over his job.

During her tenure as president of China, Zhu Xiaotong led a series of issues on the localization of Tesla products in China, including the opening of an experience center, the spread of new cars in China and the construction of the Tesla super factory in Shanghai.

In September 2021, Zhu Xiaotong, while continuing to serve as Tesla's global vice president and president of Greater China, managing Tesla's "plenipotentiary affairs" in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, has become responsible for Tesla's business in the Asia-Pacific region.

After fully operating Greater China and then taking charge of the Asia-Pacific business, Zhu Xiaotong is very likely to "go a step further" and take over Tesla's global production, delivery and sales business.

The report also said that according to the industrial and commercial registration data of Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Beijing) Co., Ltd., the main bodies of Tesla's operations in China, Zhu Xiaotong still serves as the legal representative of Tesla's main operators in China. His registered name is "Xiaotong Zhu" rather than Zhu Xiaotong. This high probability shows that Zhu Xiaotong already holds a passport outside China and is a foreigner in terms of identity.

According to people close to Tesla China, Zhu Xiaotong is very close to Musk in some key qualities-nearly focusing on work 24 hours a day, returning to work Wechat at 3: 00 a.m. to 4 a.m., with little personal life and strict or even strict requirements on subordinates.

In response, Tech asked Tesla's insider to verify the matter, and the insider responded: "do you think it's true?" Suspected of indirectly denying the authenticity of the news.

As of CTOnews.com press time, Tesla and China have not responded to this rumor.

In November, James Murdoch, director of Tesla, testified in court that Musk had identified a potential successor to lead Tesla in the past few months. But Murdoch did not disclose the name of a potential successor. Musk had previously said: "frankly, I don't want to be the CEO of any company."
