Reporter, Elon Musk & Co. (Tesla, SpaceX) Job at The Information Company in New

About The InformationThe Information was founded in late 2013 with a simple idea : write deeply reported articles about the technology industry that you won't find elsewhere. Since then, we've become a disruptor in business news that's moved markets, gotten the early scoop on billions of dollars of acquisitions, and told you what's happening inside companies like Apple, Meta and Google. As a subscription-only publication, we aim high and take on challenging stories and adhere to the highest of journalistic standards. What we put into the work is just as in-depth as our output. We've attracted hundreds of thousands of active readers who look to us for breaking news stories and impactful features. As we look to expand our coverage in alignment with the needs of our subscribers, we continue to invest aggressively in our team.About the roleWe'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.
