If you have any interest in cars–or have a Twitter account (or a tv for that matter) you have probably heard all of the commotion about Elon Musk tweeting falsified things about Tesla. Many people are saying that this is why accounts from people who are higher up should be ran by a PR representative. Due to the lack of supervision, a tweet that caused a riot on the internet was made, so why not monitor all accounts? Tesla is saying that there isn’t a need to let this little scandal stop CEO’s from tweeting because they are the faces of those establishments. They claim that it is rare for CEO’s to want to “be superstars” and that some CEO’s use their personal platform but have largely inactive profiles and they’re simply there just to have a presence and to listen to their followers/customers or consumers. But due to Elon tweeting what he twote, Tesla is now being investigated by the justice department, they’re looking at whether Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, broke the law by musing on Twitter about taking the company private.

Last month, following the incident, Tesla received a voluntary request for documents from the DOJ, and according to the spokesperson, they’re being cooperative. In another article, the spokesperson continued, “We have not received a subpoena, a request for testimony, or any other formal process. We respect the DOJ’s desire to get information about this and believe that the matter should be quickly resolved as they review the information they have received.” The “criminal aspect” had an impact on Tesla share prices after it was first reported by Bloomberg, the shares then dropped 6% after the first report by the DOJ. The stocks however rebounded that afternoon, so it seemed to not hurt the company (money wise) for too long. If you were to bring it up to either party however, they both refuse to confirm or deny any details.

Moral of the story: not all people at the top of a business should have access to social media accounts—in more cases than just Elon Musk and Tesla… Not just for the good of the country—sorry, company, but for the good of the people who have to see what they post.
