Elon Musk visited the Ashton Martin manufacturing unit in the year 2008 and at that time he was treated as an ‘amateur car builder’. However, he is at the moment the owner of the world’s best automobile corporations.

The CEO of Aston Martin had acted quite grumpy with him over the years as and when Elon Musk toured its manufacturing units. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO took to Twitter to respond to the incident in a funny tweet.

Checkout the tweet here-

He was indeed quite grumpy, but we did not actually know what we were doing, so he had a point

The same incident was described in 2015 in an e-book named Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance. However, the incident went viral after the tweet that was posted recently.

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley took to Twitter saying, “Hey @elonmusk how did your visit in 2008 to @astonmartin change what you did with @tesla? when Musk visited Aston Martin to see a tour of its factory, the CEO treated @elonmusk ‘like an amateur car builder.”

To which Elon Musk responded saying, “He was indeed quite grumpy, but we did not actually know what we were doing, so he had a point.”

Here’s what people on the internet have to say about this-

Powerful! Just image in 15 years when we post side by sides of starship prototypes being stacked ring by ring vs the starship factory cranking them out for the Mars fleet. I can’t wait!

Given that Aston Marton apparently has zero plans to go electric, I doubt he has any regret. It's more likely that he still thinks Tesla is an aberration that will go bankrupt any day now and AM will be able to continue making ICE cars without worrying about this whole EV "fad."

Phenomenal 12 years. Grumpiness definitely forgiven.
