In the recent DealBook Summit, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. TSLA, sidestepped discussions about the much-awaited Cybertruck launch.
Musk’s interview at the summit, which lasted 90 minutes, barely touched upon the Cybertruck launch, Business Insider reported. The dialogue primarily revolved around philosophical, confrontational, and political matters.
Since 2019, millions of Tesla followers have been anticipating the launch of the Cybertruck, a product Musk previously lauded as Tesla’s “best product ever.” However, his comments at the summit regarding the Cybertruck were scant, merely stating that it would be the “biggest product launch of anything by far on Earth this year.”

The panel featuring Musk started almost a quarter of an hour late, resulting in a charged atmosphere on stage. Musk’s demeanor turned argumentative when the conversation switched to a recent advertiser boycott of X, which he had acquired for $44 billion a year ago. He bluntly told the departing advertisers, including Disney, IBM, and Apple, to “go f*** yourself,” and declared that he did not care if their boycott “killed” the company.
Despite the heated exchanges, Musk’s demeanor turned introspective when his personal challenges were discussed. The interview ended on a variety of topics, including artificial intelligence, extraterrestrial life, and Musk’s brain chip venture, Neuralink.
