Elon Musk has revealed that he's committed to being CEO of Tesla in five years' time, as per a report on AP. Musk's remark came at a time when there were questions about the billionaire's seriousness about the role and future in the automaker.

The question came as Musk made a video appearance at the Qatar Economic Forum hosted by Bloomberg after Musk recently traveled to Doha as part of Trump's Mideast trip last week.

A moderator asked: “Do you see yourself and are you committed to still being the chief executive of Tesla in five years’ time?” Musk responded: “Yes.”


The moderator pushed further: “No doubt about that at all?” Musk added, chuckling: “I can't be still here if I'm dead."

Tesla has faced intense pressure as Musk worked with Trump as part of its self-described Department of Government Efficiency effort, particularly amid its campaign of cuts across the U.S. federal government.
