Tesla Says Justice Department, SEC Are Investigating Model 3 Production Targets (cnbc.com)
Tesla said in a regulatory filing Friday that the SEC and Justice Department are investigating their Model 3 production projections to see if they misled investors. CNBC reports: The filing confirms much of an Oct. 26 article in The Wall Street Journal that said FBI agents were looking at whether Tesla misled investors about production of its Model 3 sedans. The FBI is the principal investigative arm of the Justice Department. The SEC, which just settled its securities fraud investigation against CEO Elon Musk and the company, has separately subpoenaed Tesla for Musk's statements about production rates regarding its popular Model 3 sedan, the company said. DOJ prosecutors have also asked for the same information, although it stopped short of issuing a formal subpoena, the company said in a filing with the SEC. In an interview with Recode's Kara Swisher, Elon Musk denied the validity of the WSJ article.
"The amount of untruthful stuff that is written is unbelievable. Take that Wall Street Journal front-page article about, like, 'The FBI is closing in.' That is utterly false. That's absurd," Musk told Swisher. "To print such a falsehood on the front page of a major newspaper is outrageous. Like, why are they even journalists? They're terrible. Terrible people."

Bloomberg and their stupid "china spyware chips are everywhere" bullshit story, WSJ trying to make Tesla fail... it's like the media is being controlled by idiots who believe technology is evil.

The Wall St report came last week and stopped a good momentum, but the stock recovered very soon. This disclosure came early today during trading hours, and the stock barely budged. Looks like whatever it is, it has been fully priced into the stock.
