According to BlockBeats, on May 1st, Musk criticized the Wall Street Journal's report that "Tesla's board of directors is seeking a CEO replacement" for being untrue: "This is an extreme act of moral corruption. The Wall Street Journal actually published a deliberately fabricated false article, which Tesla's board of directors had explicitly denied before the report was published, but the Wall Street Journal still chose to publish it.
Previously, according to The Wall Street Journal, Tesla's board of directors has initiated the process of searching for Elon Musk to succeed as CEO. Tesla's chairman has clarified that media reports that the board has contacted headhunting firms to find a new CEO are "completely untrue". Tesla's CEO is Elon Musk, and the board is confident in continuing to drive exciting growth plans for the future.
