About the role
We’re seeking a reporter for one of the most riveting beats in tech and business: the world of Elon Musk. The billionaire Tesla CEO’s reach extends from electric vehicles and solar roofs, to rockets, social media and now artificial intelligence. We are seeking a reporter who can dig into his businesses to get ahead of their next moves and answer the biggest questions, from the future of Tesla’s robotaxi ambitions to a SpaceX IPO to xAI ambitions to supplant OpenAI.
This is a job for a reporter who has experience developing a beat and breaking news and wants the variety—and challenge—that comes with covering companies in different industries, led by a mogul who frequently lands in court.
We’ve already established ourselves on the Musk beat by breaking news on Tesla layoffs, SpaceX rocket problems and xAI ‘super computer’ plans as well as profiling the individuals that surround him, from Gwynne Shotwell to the Gigafund. We want to keep up that momentum with a reporter who also is excited to adapt the beat as Musk’s focus changes—as it surely will.
We are a collegial newsroom and the reporter can expect to work closely to confirm tips and flesh out stories with our award-winning venture and tech reporters. Articles will range from 500 word scoops to deeply reported profiles and tick-tocks on big events. We write very little on commodity news, freeing up reporters to develop sources and work on harder-to-tackle stories.
