Elon Musk makes fun of Porsche, Volkswagen; faces repercussions

SAN FRANCISCO: Tesla's general manager, Elon Musk, has been mocking his tweets in Volkswagen's tweets and Taycan's Turbo-electric Porsche sports car, apparently on his behalf.

"Can we all agree that pumping carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, particulates, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide from cars all over the world's streets is perhaps a bad idea, "Tesla tweeted on Thursday.

A few minutes later, Musk, who was indirectly involved in the polluting emissions scandal at Volkswagen, wrote: "In heavy traffic, toxic gases released by the car in front of you end up in your AC outlet. Gasoline / diesel car manufacturers have not cheated on their emissions or we would really be in trouble. "

The joke of Tesla, CEO of Musk on Twitter, did not stop at Volkswagen. He then peeked at Taycan Porsche's "Turbo" label and tweeted: "Um @Porsche, this turbo word does not mean what you think it does."

His tweets gave way to a backward reaction and Twitterati reminded Musk of the "secure finance" tweets that caused problems for his electric vehicle company.

"Um @elonmusk, this word compressor does not mean what you think it does," commented one user.

A bit like, "… every quarter is profitable." $ TSLA, "tweeted another user.
