Musk hits back at Altman over Tesla delay claim

New Delhi: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has hit back at OpenAI chief Sam Altman after the latter claimed he was still waiting for a Tesla car more than seven years after booking it. Musk accused Altman of leaving out ‘key details,’ saying the issue had already been resolved and a refund issued within 24 hours. The long-running tension between Musk and OpenAI CEO Altman flared up once again after Altman alleged that he has been waiting more than seven years for a Tesla vehicle he booked -- and still hasn’t received it.

Altman claimed that he paid $45,000 as a pre-reservation fee for a Tesla car in July 2018, but despite multiple follow-ups, he has not received the vehicle or a refund.
