Elon Musk has responded to the Sydney Morning Herald after it suggested he would exit his $1 trillion Tesla company next year.
The newspaper on Sunday published an article by technology editor David Swan that shared a series of predictions for technology in the new year.
One prediction was that Musk, the world’s richest man, would be forced to part ways with electric car company Tesla due to his new role in Donald Trump’s new administration.
Musk will be co-head of the new Department of Government Efficiency, with a mandate to reduce red tape and bureaucracy in Washington.
“Juggling leadership roles at X, Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, The Boring Company, and Neuralink was already unsustainable,” the SMH op-ed read.
‘Musk has already found himself at odds with MAGA fanatics like Steve Bannon over immigration issues, and the inauguration is still weeks away.
‘He has also been at odds with the judicial system, after a US judge blocked Musk’s $56 billion pay package to Tesla.
“After constant controversies and distractions, everything will come to a head in 2025, and Musk will be forced to hand over the reins of Tesla, a company that many mistakenly believe he founded.”

But Musk responded with a cheeky response on his X platform, formerly Twitter.
“I predict the Sydney Morning Herald will continue to lose readers in 2025 by relentlessly lying to its audience and boring them to death,” Musk wrote.
A response to his post alleged that “traditional media is in a fatalistic spiral,” to which Musk responded, “yes.”
More to come.
