In November 2025, Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, took to the social media platform X. He shared that he had requested a refund for the Tesla Roadster sports car he had ordered back in 2018 for $50,000. Seven and a half years had passed, and the car still hadn't been delivered. Strangely enough, when he tried to send an email regarding this matter, it bounced back.
Musk, not one to stay silent, quickly fired back. He stated that Altman had indeed received his refund within a mere 24 hours. With a hint of sarcasm, Musk pointed out that Altman was "only sharing a part of the whole story."
But that's not all. Musk also dropped a bombshell. He revealed that Tesla is on the verge of unveiling the latest iteration of the Roadster. And here's where it gets really interesting - this new model might just have the ability to take to the skies! This flight - enabling feature could potentially be linked to the cold gas thruster package supplied by SpaceX, a company also under Musk's leadership.
