"In terms of critical hires, I would say people who are great at writing software are the highest priority," the report quoted Musk as saying.
According to the CEO, there are "no plans" to have the company's headquarters in Texas, as he did with Tesla, although it would make sense to have "dual-headquartered" offices in Texas and California.
