Musk accused the WSJ of lying after an article about X stagnation

The head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), American billionaire Ilon Musk called false the publication of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which said that he allegedly sent a letter to employees of his company X (formerly Twitter) about financial problems. On Jan. 25, Musk wrote on X's social networking site.

"This message is false. I did not send out such emails. WSJ is lying," he stated.

It is about the WSJ publication, which said that the entrepreneur complained about weak financial performance and the lack of a large increase in users in the social network X. According to the publication, Musk sent an email to the company's employees, in which he said that the company has shown its ability to influence the "formation of discussions in society", but in terms of revenue it tolerates a deplorable situation, specified "Gazeta.Ru".

"User growth is stagnant, revenue is not impressive, we are barely making ends meet," WSJ cited allegedly text from Musk's letter.

"They're going to try to make up anything that can hurt the Trump team's reputation."

Experts explained what Ilon Musk's gesture at the US presidential inauguration parade means

The day before, Musk expressed his displeasure that the X algorithms were filling the feed with posts with Nazi salutes.

Earlier, on January 20, Musk at the inauguration of US President Donald Trump showed a gesture similar to a Nazi greeting. After finishing his speech, the head of the freshly created DOGE department hit himself in the chest with his right hand and then raised it up diagonally. He then turned around and repeated the gesture a second time.

Later, on January 21, Musk accused Democrats of dirty tricks after displaying a "Nazi salute." To his publication, the businessman attached one of his old posts, in which he noted that the Democrats are likely to launch a black PR campaign against him for defecting to the Republican Party.
