Elon Musk's Strong Critique Against WSJ

Elon Musk, the billionaire and head of the United States Government of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has publicly criticized the Wall Street Journal for what he describes as a "deliberately false article." The report claimed that Tesla's board is actively searching for a new CEO to succeed Musk.

The Alleged Ethical Breach

Musk took to X to express his outrage, accusing the publication of an "extremely bad breach of ethics." He highlighted that the WSJ allegedly ignored a prior denial from the Tesla board before going ahead with the story.

Tesla's Official Stance

In response to the controversy, Tesla's official X account released a statement. Board Chair Robyn Denholm firmly denied the report, labeling it as "absolutely false." This statement was shared widely, including by Musk himself on his X account.
