BlockBeats News, May 1st, Musk criticized The Wall Street Journal article claiming "Tesla Board Seeks to Oust CEO" as false information: "This is an incredibly unethical behavior, The Wall Street Journal dared to publish an intentionally false article, the Tesla Board had explicitly denied it before the publication of the report, but The Wall Street Journal still chose to publish it."
Previously, according to The Wall Street Journal, the Tesla Board had initiated the process of finding a successor to Musk as CEO. The Tesla Board Chair has clarified that media reports about the board contacting headhunters to find a new CEO are "completely untrue." Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla, and the board has full confidence in him to continue driving the exciting growth plans for the future.
