A broken cake deal has put Tesla in the headlines.
Now even company boss Elon Musk is speaking out.
San Jose – Always having trouble with the car company Tesla.
After the conflict with the IG Metall union at the site in Brandenburg, the company suddenly found itself under criticism because of a cake order.
This case involves the sudden cancellation of an order for 4,000 cakes for Valentine's Day at the car manufacturer's headquarters in California.
Reports about Musk's allegedly rampant drug consumption have also sparked discussion.

Elon Musk, billionaire and CEO of the company, later wrote on his platform X (formerly Twitter) that he only found out about the matter afterwards.
He announced that he would “make things right with the bakery” and emphasized that one must “be able to trust that Tesla will always do its best.”
With his start-up Neuralink, he has now inserted a brain implant into the first person.

According to a report by local television station
ABC7 News,
a Tesla representative ordered the 4,000 cakes from the small bakery “The Giving Pies”.
The bakery put other orders on hold and purchased large quantities of ingredients.
But on the agreed pickup day, the order was abruptly canceled via a curt text message.
However, the owner of the bakery, Voahangy Rasetarinera, was not ready to accept this and decided to go to the media.
Her story sparked international outrage.

So far it remains unclear how Musk wants to “make things right”.
Rasetarinera told
NBC Bay Area
that she has not heard from the billionaire since the online post.
However, according to a report from
KTVU,
Tesla has now placed an order for 3,200 cakes for two events next month.

The situation also appears to have had a positive impact on the bakery, at least from a PR perspective.
According to the report, customers now have to expect a 36-hour wait for cakes in the small shop.
In addition, the financial loss has now been offset.
