Elon Musk Steps Up
Billionaire Elon Musk has pledged to help a California bakery, Giving Pies, after his company Tesla cancelled a big pie order. The cancellation cost the bakery owner, Voahangy Rasetarinera, a lot of money. Musk found out about this issue and tweeted, “Just hearing about this. Will make things good with the bakery.”
Big Order, Big Problems
Giving Pies, a Black-owned bakery in San Jose, got a huge order from Tesla on Valentine’s Day for 2,000 mini pies, worth $6,000. This was a big deal for the small bakery. However, Tesla kept delaying payment and even increased the order to 4,000 pies. Rasetarinera and her team worked hard to make all these pies. But Tesla didn’t pay and suddenly said they didn’t need the pies anymore.
Impact on the Bakery
This last-minute cancellation was tough for Giving Pies. Rasetarinera had to say no to other jobs to make these pies. She needed the money from Tesla to pay her staff and buy ingredients. When Tesla cancelled, it left her and her business in a difficult spot.
Tesla’s Response
A Tesla representative later told Rasetarinera that the person who made the order wasn’t allowed to approve payments. As of Thursday, Tesla hadn’t paid for the pies but offered a tour of their factory instead.
Musk’s Promise
Musk’s tweet about fixing things might mean that Giving Pies will finally get paid for their hard work. He said, “People should always be able to count on Tesla trying its best.”
