Elon Musk isn’t happy about a report that his own company is looking to replace him.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Tesla’s board of directors had begun the process of finding a new CEO to replace the billionaire bureaucrat who was galavanting around Washington with a chain saw, people familiar with the discussions told the paper. The board reached out to several executive search firms, and was ultimately able to narrow its efforts to one major firm, the outlet reported.

Following an initial spike after Musk had effectively bought Donald Trump the White House, the electric vehicle-maker spent the first three months of the year watching its value deflate and its brand curdle as its CEO spent more time cozying up to the increasingly unpopular president.

It’s unclear whether Musk, who stepped down as the chairman of the board of directors in 2018, was aware that the company was beginning to look for new leadership. As the board of directors first embarked on their search about a month ago, they warned the CEO that he needed to spend more time at the company, and Musk didn’t argue.

In a furious post on X Thursday, Musk claimed that the report was a complete fiction. “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!” he wrote.

2. Being "forced" out, who does that?

So cruel. Karma covered in caramel with cherries all
Over. How sick will he be when Trump passes his wealth level, from his hundreds of millions invested in on Donny? And he seeks socialist help? Maybe he can get a job in the new El Salvador Industrial Complex Holding Cells with workers being respected like he did Tesla employees.
Wear all the hates he wants all at once. All trump hats. Made in Jina previously. Then he can help make them in El Salvador.
A man can dream can’t we?

Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple (which he actually created) by the board for a lot less than the Hell Eloon has brought Tesla.
