Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk turned to Twitter on Sunday to open up old wounds with one of Tesla’s cofounders before announcing he had “deleted” his Twitter account.
Musk ripped into Tesla cofounder Martin Eberhard, stating that “Tesla is alive in spite of Eberhard, but he seeks credit constantly and fools give it [to] him.” The tweet was later deleted. Musk, meantime, changed his Twitter name to Daddy Dotcom, said he had deleted his Twitter account, and swapped out his Twitter photo for a solid black disc.
Tesla had no comment. Eberhard, now chairman and chief technology officer of electric vehicle battery startup Tiveni, could not be reached. Eberhard later sued Musk for libel and slander, in part for minimizing Eberhard’s contributions and claiming to be a cofounder of Tesla. The suit was settled for undisclosed terms, but Eberhard did agree that Musk and two others should be considered co-founders.
In the SEC case, the government agency filed fraud charges after Musk tweeted in August that he had “funding secured” to take Tesla private at $420 a share. The tweet propelled the stock price higher, but it later fell after Musk failed to provide any evidence such a deal was in the works.
