Trash talking Clooney cops serve over Tesla car US actor George Clooney is no fan of the Tesla. The Tesla Model S Source: Supplied WHIZ-KID inventor Elon Musk is showing his snippy side. The Tesla Motors founder snapped back at Hollywood hunk George Clooney yesterday after the actor trash-talked Musk's electric car company the previous day. "In other news, George Clooney reports that his iPhone 1 had a bug back in '07," Musk tweeted. Clooney, in an interview in Esquire magazine, said he's no fan of Musk's vehicles. I had a Tesla. I was one of the first cats with a Tesla," Clooney bragged to Esquire. But I'm telling you, I've been on the side of the road a while in that thing. And I said to them, 'Look, guys, why am I always stuck on the side of the f**king road? Make it work, one way or another'. The Clooney review came at a tough time for Musk, who has been battling concerns about the safety of Tesla's popular Model S electric sedans following reports that some sedans caught fire after getting into accidents.
