Elon Musk Tears Into WSJ Report Questioning His Future As Tesla CEO
HuffPost
The electric car company continues to face massive challenges as evidenced by its disastrous first-quarter earnings.
Elon Musk on Thursday blasted The Wall Street Journal over a report that Tesla’s board of directors is looking to recruit a new chief executive to replace the billionaire in the top job.
The Journal on Wednesday reported that “about a month ago” Tesla’s board started reaching out to recruiting firms to formalize a process to find a new CEO. The company continues to face massive challenges as evidenced by its disastrous first-quarter earnings.
Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm signed a post on Tesla’s account on X, formerly Twitter, dismissing the Journal’s report as “absolutely false,” claiming “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,” she wrote.
The Journal has not addressed Denholm’s statement as of Thursday morning.
