Elon Musk reports "major rebound in demand" for Tesla

Driving the news: Musk told CNBC in a live interview that the company's sales are bouncing back. He did not provide specifics.

• He also said Tesla is on track to launch "unsupervised" full-self-driving car services in Austin, Texas, in June — but he said the company will "start with probably 10 for a week" before increasing from there.
• Musk said it'll "probably be at a thousand within a few months," though he confirmed reports that the company will have people remotely monitoring the operations to ensure safety. He predicted hundreds of thousands to a million Teslas with full self-driving capability on U.S. roads overall by the end of 2026.
• "I think it's prudent for us to start with a small number, confirm that things are going well, and then scale it up proportionate to how well we see it's doing," he said.

The big picture: Musk said last month that he would take a significant step back from his work in Washington.

• He also told Bloomberg's Qatar Economic Forum today that he would dial back his political spending.
