Elon Musk's mom slams WSJ reporters over 'dishonest' article about son
Share this @internewscast.com

Elon Musk’s mother heavily criticized a group of Wall Street Journal journalists using a derogatory term, calling their article about her son “dishonest.”

Maye Musk, a dietician from Canada, tweeted on Thursday, pointing out the article’s untruthfulness and tagging the three female reporters who contributed to the piece about Elon Musk and Tesla.

The 77-year-old model then tagged an account that prides itself on ‘find[ing] ret*rds and [resharing] their posts’.

Her comments came as a response to a user’s theory regarding the authors’ motives behind the article, which alleged that Tesla is trying to find a new CEO to succeed Musk.

Hours before, Musk launched a late-night rant against The Murdoch family-owned paper over the story – reigniting a still-fresh feud in the process. 

‘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 in one of three tweets.

‘WSJ is a discredit to journalism,’ he added shortly thereafter.

‘It’s not that all @WSJ stories are fake,’ he then clarified. ‘[T]hey are almost all mean-spirited and deceptive.’ The Journal, meanwhile, has insisted it spoke with several ‘people familiar’ with the matter and the story, the latest in a series about Musk, is above board.

'The @WSJ dishonest article about @elonmusk and @Tesla was written by three women,' Maye Musk wrote on X Thursday, taking the time to tag the reporters responsible, as well as an account that prides itself on 'find[ing] ret*rds and [resharing] their posts'

Musk and a Tesla spokesperson have maintained the story was false. They say the Journal was made aware of such prior to publication.

The profile Maye had linked to –  @IfindR*tards – is often used by MAGA supporters to pan takes by progressives who they disagree with.

The Wall Street Journal has historically been seen as a right-leaning title.

Recently, however, it has made a concerted effort to scrutinize Musk, 53, leading to a litany of late night tweets from the outspoken X owner.

Musk, within hours, was bashing the Journal – touting it as worse than TMZ.

‘TMZ >> WSJ,’ the billionaire wrote a little over two weeks ago, after the Murdoch-family owned paper published an extensive report claiming he has been secretly trying to create a ‘legion’ of offspring.

He also branded the Journal ‘trash’ back in January after a separate report about his alleged drug use and concerns it was causing Tesla’s directors. Musk denied that he had any problem with drugs.

Maye, a dietician and Canadian citizen, had been replying to a user's speculation surrounding the true motives of the piece, which claimed Tesla is actively seeking to replace Musk as CEO

The Wednesday report, penned by Emily Glazer, Dana Mattioli, and Becky Peterson, claimed Tesla’s board has become serious about looking for a Musk successor.   

Several sources said to be familiar with the purported search blamed sinking stocks and more investor concerns about Musk’s continued work with the US government taking away focus from Tesla.

Tesla’s first-quarter profits have cratered 71 percent, leaving the EV giant with $409 million as opposed to the $1.4 billion it raked in during the same stretch last year. 

The company’s stock price has shed nearly 40 percent of its value since January when Musk started serving as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Wall Street had expected a better performance, further fueling speculation surrounding the Journal report.

It claimed the electric car maker has sought the advice of multiple executive search firms on how to begin the search process. 

It also indicated Musk had been asked by board members to make a public statement promising he would head back to his day job. 

The CEO on Thursday appeared to oblige, announcing he would be devoting ‘far more of my time to Tesla,’ in a statement.

Daily Mail has reached out to the Wall Street Journal for comment.
