Elon Musk wants more control of Tesla, the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer that made him a multi-billionaire, to advance its position as a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technology.

Musk currently has a 13% share in the company, which overall has a market cap of $764.37 billion.
