The most recent occasion on this endless beef was began by Altman on Oct. 30, who shared his unsuccessful try and cancel the Tesla Roadster. In an X publish with e mail screenshots, Altman stated he had pre-ordered the Roadster in July 2018 with a $45,000 reservation cost. Seven years later, in 2025, he tried to cancel the reservation and get a refund by straight responding to the unique reservation affirmation e mail, which yielded an “tackle not discovered” error.

On one hand, it isn’t that uncommon for a corporation e mail tackle to get modified or expire after seven years. On the opposite, it’s totally uncommon for a corporation to ask for a $45k down cost on a automobile after which not launch it for seven years, so we do kinda get the place Altman’s coming from.

Musk responded on X on Nov. 1, first by altering the topic and saying that Altman “stole a non-profit,” referencing the odd trajectory of OpenAI from a non-profit to for-profit firm.

Altman might have chosen the incorrect second to cancel his Roadster reservation, as Musk lately stated that Tesla is near demonstrating a “prototype” of the automobile, hyping it up as “for those who took all of the James Bond vehicles and mixed them, it is crazier than that” — and hinting that it will have the ability to fly. Then once more, this automobile was initially purported to launch in 2020, so we would not maintain our breath ready it to launch.
