Tesla CEO Elon Musk has now deleted a tweet in which he said the electric car maker Tesla could become the largest company “in a few months”.
In response to a fan tweet, Musk said last week, “I think there’s a> 0% chance (more than zero percent) that Tesla could be the biggest company,” he said, “maybe within a few months” in responses to fans.
While the first part of the tweet that showed that Tesla could grow bigger than Apple is still intact, the second part of the tweet in which they talked about the timeline is now gone.
This is not the first time, however, that the tech billionaire has posted a tweet that has caused controversy.
A number of targets he had previously set for the companies he ran had not been achieved within the timeframe he had stated.
Musk, which has 49.7 million followers on Twitter, uses the microblogging platform to connect with its followers and also to make important announcements related to Tesla, SpaceX and the his other initiatives.
However, not all of his tweets have gone down well with the regulators and investors.
The U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has recently told Tesla to tell Musk to delete a tweet against a union he filed in 2018.
Musk tweeted: “Nothing was stopping the Tesla team at our car center from voting union. Could they do that tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union taxes & take stock options for nothing? Our safety record is 2X better than when there was a UAW plant & everyone is already getting healthcare “.
Earlier, a Tesla investor accused Musk and the company’s board of breaking an agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that prevented Musk from tweeting the sensitive financial information co. -connected to an electric car manufacturer.
The lawsuit alleges that Musk exposes Tesla to potential penalties from regulators and could reduce its stock.
