Billionaire technologist Elon Musk spent much of his Thursday this week criticizing what he branded “relentlessly negative” coverage of his electric car company Tesla, accusing one U.S. reporter of trading compensation for insider information and another of publishing a “bogus” article.

Musk hit out at Reuters, Business Insider and CNBC for reports detailing supposed issues with Tesla production. One claimed that recent Model S production had been behind schedule by 800 cars and another described significant scrap material wastage allegedly taking place at the firm’s Fremont, California, factory. One journalist, he complained, had sent him a “mean tweet” on his birthday.
