CEO Elon Musk takes over Tesla’s US and European sales amid executive departure

Billionaires — they’re just like us. They beef with their former bosses and, sometimes, when colleagues leave they have to pick up the slack without backfilling the position. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is taking over running US and European sales after VP of Manufacturing and Operations Omead Afshar departed last week, Bloomberg reports. Afshar is just one in a string of executive departures at the EV company, which reports second-quarter sales tomorrow before market open.

Salesforce falls as Anthropic debuts Cowork tool

Salesforce is on track for its worst trading day in nearly two years, with shares down more than 6% Tuesday afternoon. One potential contributor: Anthropic’s release of Cowork, an autonomous digital assistant for completing office tasks. Essentially, Cowork is an agent-based version of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot that can access and manipulate files, automate workflows, and execute tasks on a user’s behalf.

Salesforce watchers will recall that the SaaS giant has thrown its weight behind its own agent-based workplace AI, Agentforce, which CEO Marc Benioff recently described as one of the company’s two main “momentum drivers.” In December, Benioff said he would consider renaming the company "Agenforce."
