Original Tesla Founder Is Sad That Musk Made a ‘Truck That Looks Like a Dumpster’

The article reports on the reaction of Martin Eberhard, the original co-founder of Tesla, to the unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck. Eberhard expressed his disappointment with the vehicle's unconventional design, describing it as a "truck that looks like a dumpster." Eberhard, who was ousted from the company in 2007, has been critical of Tesla's current direction under the leadership of Elon Musk. He believes the Cybertruck's angular, stainless steel design deviates from the sleek, premium image that the company had initially established. The article also notes that Eberhard's comments reflect an ongoing tension between him and Musk, as they have had a contentious relationship since Eberhard's departure from Tesla. While Musk has successfully transformed Tesla into a leading electric vehicle manufacturer, Eberhard's remarks suggest that he is not entirely satisfied with the company's evolution under its current leadership.
