NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Tesla CEO Elon Musk
spoke at a JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) conference on Thursday which
was attended by the bank's chief Jamie Dimon, according to
source familiar with the situation.
The conference in Miami was attended by 200 of JPMorgan's ( JPM )
largest clients across asset and wealth management, convened by
Mary Erdoes, the CEO of the business, as well as commercial and
investment bank clients, according to the source, who declined
to be identified discussing a private client event.
Musk took the stage with his mother, Maye Musk, for a
conversation moderated by David Rubenstein, co-founder of
private equity firm the Carlyle Group ( CG ).
The conversation covered a wide range of topics, including
the scope of work of the Department of Government Efficiency
spearheaded by Musk.
JPMorgan ( JPM ) declined to comment while Musk and Carlyle did not
immediately respond to requests seeking comment.
Dimon and Musk, once adversaries in a prolonged legal
battle, have settled their differences, the prominent Wall
Street banker said in an interview last month.
The biggest U.S. lender had sued Tesla in 2021, kicking off
a drawn-out dispute that was at least in part tied to Musk's
infamous 2018 tweet where he said he had "funding secured" to
take the EV giant private, only to abandon that plan a few weeks
later.
Tesla countersued the bank in 2023, but both the companies
dropped their claims against each other in November last year.
