Martin Eberhard said he sent Elon Musk a note after SpaceX's first rocket launched into orbit. The Tesla cofounder said he never heard back from Musk and hasn't spoken to him in about 14 years. "I actually sent him a congratulatory note when his first rocket successfully made it to space, but I got no reply." The Tesla cofounder has said Musk forced him out of the company and had Tesla's board vote him out as CEO behind his back in 2007. About two years later, after Musk started calling himself a Tesla founder, Eberhard sued Musk, alleging libel and slander.

But Eberhard and Musk butted heads, and Musk ousted Eberhard from his CEO role in 2007. Musk said that Eberhard was holding up production of Tesla's first car, the Roadster, and that Eberhard was responsible for other operational issues. And the proof is for the first time ever in decades we built a car company successfully. "His behavior changed dramatically as soon as we started having press about Tesla," Eberhard said. Musk has said the company "is as much a software company as it is a hardware company."
