Musk Denies "Super-rude" Client His Tesla
Arjun Kharpal
If you criticize a compa- ny online, you normally get an apologetic response via Twitter. But that wasn't the case for one Tesla customer who got his order personally cancelled by chief execu- tive Elon Musk after the company was slammed in a blog post.
U.S. venture capitalist Stewart Alsop wrote an open letter two days ago claiming that after a phone call with Musk, his order for a Tesla Model X was cancelled by the bil- lionaire.
"I also hear that you are not comfortable having me own a Tesla car and have cancelled my order for a Tesla Model X," Alsop said.
It was apparently a response to another blog post that Alsop had wrote in September at the launch of the Tesla Model X. Alsop com-
plained that the event had started late, the room was stuffed, he didn't get to see the actual car, Musk present- ed an "amateur" slide show, and there was too much focus on safety. The investor had also put down a $5,000 deposit.
"It would still be nice if you showed some class and apologized to the people who believe in this product," Alsop
wrote at the time.
Musk responded via Twitter calling Alsop a "super rude customer" and attempted to play down the dispute.
Alsop explained that he had addressed his open letter to Musk because he was hosting the event, adding that in the past when he had criti- cized BMW, he didn't have his car recalled.
"I must also admit that I am a little taken aback to be banned by Tesla. When I wrote a blog post about my BMW X1 called 'My Car Makes Me Feel Stoopid', the CEO of BMW didn't take the car back," Alsop wrote.
The Model X was launched last year after initially being unveiled in 2012 and expected to be shipped in 2013. Tesla delivered just 208 Model X cars last year.

Former President Jimmy Carter Wins Grammy Award
By Gregory Krieg, CNN
(CNN)Former President Jimmy Carter on Monday won his second Grammy Award, this time for the audio book version of his memoir, "A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety."
This is the second time Carter has been crowned in the Best Spoken Word Album category. In 2007, his reading of "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis" won him dual honors along-
worship."
Three days after the announcement, Carter was teaching Sunday school, per his usual routine.
The spoken word Grammy has gone to politicians before.
President Barack Obama is also a two-time winner, bringing home the award in 2005 for his book, "Dreams From My Father," published a decade earlier. And again two years later for "The

In December, Carter announced he was cancer- free after an initial diagno- sis in August.
"My most recent MRI brain scan did not reveal any signs of the original cancer spots nor any new ones. I will continue to receive reg- ular three-week immunotherapy treatments
of pembrolizumab," Carter said in a statement.
Carter, 91, first revealed the news in front of a Sunday School class he was teaching at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains,
Georgia.
Carter announced in August that doctors had told him that four spots of cancer had spread to his brain. He said his fate "is in the hands of God, whom I
