This was not news. It was a hit job.Â
The Wall Street Journal has really gone down hill. It is virtually unreadable today. You used to be able to go to the WSJ for honest reporting but since the days of President Trump, this is no longer the case.
Tesla shared the following on Twitter this week about the WSJ:
Earlier today, there was a media report erroneously claiming that the Tesla Board had contacted recruitment firms to initiate a CEO search at the company.
This is absolutely false (and this was communicated to the media before the report was published).
The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk and the Board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.
– Robyn Denholm
Elon Musk shared this about the Wall Street Journal’s report on him.
It is an EXTREMELY BAD BREACH OF ETHICS that the @WSJ would publish a DELIBERATELY FALSE ARTICLE and fail to include an unequivocal denial beforehand by the Tesla board of directors!

Shame on the Wall Street Journal.
