Linette Lopez is an American journalist who focuses on US politics and economics and writes columns for Business Insider. She also investigates companies involved with public-facing controversies such as Tesla, Inc.
Career
Lopez attended Columbia University for both undergraduate and graduate studies,[1] where she concentrated in business and international journalism in addition to audio production.[2] Lopez's career in news started in 2008 following her recruitment by Business Insider from Columbia University's School of Journalism following her graduation.[3] At Insider, she aggressively covered entrepreneur Elon Musk's businesses, and, in 2018, Musk openly disputed Lopez's reporting by claiming that she had written "several false articles".[4] He also claimed Lopez was on the payroll of short sellers betting against Tesla and, in the case of Martin Tripp's whistleblowing, paid bribes to Tripp to steal company secrets.[5] Her coverage of Tesla specifically ended in 2021.[6]
Later in 2022, Lopez's Twitter account was suspended following the December 15, 2022 Twitter suspensions of many journalists, without receiving an explanation as to why.[4]
