Elon Musk and Disney CEO Bob Iger resign from Pres. Trump’s advisory council

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has quit two of President Trump’s business advisory councils after the president announced he will pull the U.S. out of the historic Paris climate agreement.

Musk had vowed to step down from the advisory councils he sits on if the president pulled out of the pact.

Disney CEO Bob Iger also announced Thursday that he’s resigning from the Strategic and Policy Forum — bumping the number of high-profile CEO departures up to two.

“As a matter of principle, I’ve resigned from the President’s Council over the #ParisAgreement withdrawal,” Iger said on Twitter.
