Tesla's first CEO says Elon Musk never replied to a congratulatory note he sent — and hasn't spoken to him in 14 years
Eberhard told Insider he tried to avoid reading news about Musk and even has his name blocked in his news feed.
"I don't need to read any more about him," Eberhard said, adding:"What happens is that Musk will make some wild-ass claim on Twitter and suddenly a bunch of reporters want to talk to me. That's how I hear about it." Tesla's early history has remained a point of contention between the two men, and Musk has sometimes criticized Eberhard on Twitter.."Eberhard was wealthy and could have risked his money, but was unwilling to do so."
Eberhard said he disagreed with Musk's characterization of his involvement in Tesla's early days, when Musk was an investor and board member and Eberhard was still the CEO."Elon is a different person now than he was then," Eberhard said."Elon didn't come into the company. I mean, this idea that he was somehow involved in the design of the Roadster stuff — he was no more involved than any other board member. He came to board meetings.
