Elon Musk Accuses Wall Street Journal of ‘Extremely Bad Breach of Ethics’ Over Report Tesla Is Searching to Replace Him
Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk excoriated the Wall Street Journal over an article that made allegedly false claims that Tesla was looking to replace him as CEO.
The Journal claimed that the electric vehicle company had been searching for a new CEO and that the board told Musk he needed to spend more time at the company to reassure investors as well as the public.
On Wednesday, Musk vehemently denied the claims about his company.
“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!” wrote Musk on the X platform, which he also owns.
He included a statement from Robyn Denholm, the chair of the board of directors at Tesla Motors, denying the report.
“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,” read the statement.
