"Recognition for Reuters Staff Exposing Elon Musk Companies' Misconduct"
Reuters staff has been awarded the 2023 George Polk Award for Business Reporting for their critical coverage of alleged nefarious practices at companies owned by Elon Musk, including issues at SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink. The award, bestowed by Long Island University, recognized Reuters' penetrating reports on worker injuries, animal treatment, product defects, privacy invasion, and insurance delays. In response, Musk criticized the award, suggesting Reuters should receive a "Liar of the Year" award instead.
