It’s not the sort of thing you’d expect to hear from someone as accomplished as Elon Musk, but the tech billionaire has revealed he doesn’t actually enjoy being the boss of Tesla

Tesla’s billionaire founder was speaking at the start of a trial where he is accused of pressuring the firm’s board members into a multi billion dollar deal to buy a solar panel firm.

Shareholders claim the carmaker’s money was wasted on buying SolarCity.

During the court hearings, Musk said he’d much rather be in a design capacity at Tesla compared to running the company.

He’s also denied exerting pressure on board members, saying that the deal was part of a “master plan” to create affordable vehicles with green power supplies.

Shareholders want Musk to repay Tesla the $2.6bn in full.

If they are successful, it would be one of the largest ever judgements against an individual.
