Recently, we’ve seen reporters from all over the newsroom produce incredible journalism about the new administration. The Post today published an investigation into the $38 billion in government funding that underpins Elon Musk’s business empire: wapo.st/41uIOJ4

I will not tolerate any interference from our owner in my reporting. If that red line is ever crossed moving forward, I will quit and let you know.

Since I joined the newsroom in 2018, Bezos has never influenced my coverage of tech policy, politics or the White House. My colleagues and I have covered him and his businesses with the same accountability lens we apply to all tech leaders.
