San Francisco, March 28 (TIWN) Tesla CEO Elon Musk has now deleted a tweet in which he claimed that electric car maker Tesla could be the biggest company "in a few months".
In reply to a follower's tweet, Musk last week said, "I think there is a >0% (greater than zero per cent) chance Tesla could be the biggest company," added, "probably within a few months" in replies to followers. While the first part of the tweet which indicated that Tesla could become bigger than Apple is still intact, the second part of the tweet in which talked about the timeline is now gone. This is not the first time, however, that the tech billionaire has posted tweet which has caused controversy. Several targets that he had earlier posted in relation to the companies that he run were not achieved within the time frame that he mentioned. Musk, who has 49.7 million followers on Twitter, uses the microblogging platform to connect with his followers and also to make important announcements related to Tesla, SpaceX and his other ventures. However, not all his tweets have gone down well with the regulators and investors.
