    Vancouver International Auto Show removes Tesla, citing safety
    concerns at event

    Tesla has been removed from participating in this week's Vancouver International Auto Show over safety concerns, the event's executive
    director says.

    Eric Nicholl said in a statement Tuesday that the show asked the
    electric carmaker to withdraw because of a "primary concern" for the
    safety of workers, attendees and exhibitors.

    Nicholl said Tesla was provided "multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw."

    "This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on
    enjoying the many positive elements of the event," the statement said.
    The automaker's removal comes after so-called "Tesla Takedown"
    protests on the weekend, including in Ottawa and Metro Vancouver.

    Protesters were denouncing Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his role advising
    U.S. President Donald Trump.

    still be the richest man

    Tesla's stockholders might take a chunk of that change if Tesla files
    for bankruptcy.
