Elon Musk asked Nvidia to prioritize GPU shipments to X over Tesla, emails reveal

Elon Musk's Request Emails circulating at Nvidia reveal that Elon Musk asked them to prioritize processor shipments to X over Tesla.

The CEO told NVIDIA to divert a shipment of GPUs meant for Tesla to X instead.

Concerns and Conflicts Amid concerns about fulfilling fiduciary duties to Tesla shareholders,

a report from CNBC highlighted the conflict of interest.

Musk's request conflicted with bookings and forecasts,

raising questions about market manipulation and breach of fiduciary duty.

Tesla's Readiness Elon Musk responded, stating that Tesla was not ready to take delivery of the Nvidia chips,

as the south extension of Giga Texas, where the chips would be housed, was almost complete.

Governance and Oversight The situation underscores the need for proper governance and oversight of Tesla's CEO,

as the conflicts of interest are real and significant.

The delay in Tesla's project at Gigafactory Texas may have contributed to the situation,

but the conflicts of interest remain a concern.
