The Wall Street Journal has hired Sean O’Kane to cover Tesla and autonomous vehicles.
He will start in two weeks.
O’Kane is a senior reporter at TechCrunch who has spent a decade covering the rapidly-evolving business and technology of the transportation industry, including Tesla and the many startups chasing Elon Musk.
Previously, he was a reporter at Bloomberg News where he helped break stories about some of the most notorious EV SPAC flops.
He previously worked at The Verge, where he also covered consumer technology, hosted many short- and long-form videos, performed product and editorial photography, and once nearly passed out in a Red Bull Air Race plane.
