Ellison (owns supposedly 3 M Tesla shares) sure isn't going to be an independent board member. By the way he invested heavily into Theranos. The Walgreen cereal expert lady WAS actually on the board at Theranos and Walgreens was duped by them.
Both of them are perfect fit for Tesla, I say. Nothing like a cereal expert helping you out making autos.

John Carreyrou (WSJ and author of Bad Blood) on Larry Ellison and Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) in Vox interview:
"One of her advisers was Larry Ellison [the billionaire co-founder and CEO of Oracle]. Larry Ellison’s advice to her was that in his early years, he was also getting told by the coders and guys creating the software he was selling that “this isn’t feasible” and “we can’t get it done on time.” And [Larry] was always pushing them to deliver and ignoring their complaints. And he told [Elizabeth] to do the same. Of course, that was terrible advice and he was a bad role model. He famously engaged in vaporware in the early years of Oracle, promising things he couldn’t deliver. That’s the advice he was giving her, and she was drinking it up."
