"Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Saturday chided business executives that leave President Trump’s business advisory council, saying doing so “would be wrong.”

In a pair of tweets on Saturday, Musk remarked on the influence that sitting on the advisory council allowed him to have, saying he was able to make addressing the president’s executive order on immigration a top priority in a White House meeting on Friday.

He also said he was able to raise the issue of climate change at that same meeting. The council, he said, is “doing good,” and he would remain a member."
