Who owns the WSJ again?

What are you implying? That Murdoch has some beef with Musk?

They seem ideologically well aligned to me.

Not that long ago, Tesla was seen as producing electric cars for the hippy-dippy set -- with a side business in solar panels.

Musk appears to have changed his ideological alliances, but the Wall Street Journal still has beef with electric cars and solar panels. Their editorial page still regularly calls climate change a hoax.

Also James Murdoch (son of Rupert) is on the Tesla Board of Directors. WSJ is playing it down the middle, like they always do.

Dow Jones & Company Dow Jones & Company, a New York City-based financial publisher, and owner of the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch and Barron's. News Corp Australia, an Australian newspaper and magazine publisher, owns 65% of pay-TV provider Foxtel (which owns Fox Sports Australia) and REA Group.

I'm 50/50 on this being either AI-generated slop or just being poorly copied-and-pasted.

oh ya, it was from wiki for who owned it since they were wondering :)
