Elon Musk has vehemently denied a Wall Street Journal report claiming Tesla’s board is seeking to replace him as CEO. In a sharp rebuke on X, Musk labeled the article a "deliberately false" piece, accusing the publication of ethical violations for ignoring Tesla’s board denial. Board Chair Robyn Denholm swiftly countered the claims, affirming unanimous support for Musk’s leadership.

The controversy emerges as crypto markets show resilience, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) maintaining steady gains. While the article made no direct cryptocurrency references, industry observers note Musk’s influence on digital asset sentiment—particularly for Dogecoin (DOGE), which has historically reacted to his public statements.
