Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk criticized “60 Minutes” for editing out parts of his responses to questions about losing the role of chairman last month.

Musk said in a series of tweets that the CBS Corp. program cut some of his comments about relinquishing the job as part of his settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The CEO called for “60 Minutes” to release the full exchange he had with anchor Leslie Stahl about being replaced by Robyn Denholm, who was already a director on Tesla’s board.
