- Asana CEO Dustin Moskovitz lobbed one of his boldest claims against Tesla on Wednesday.
- The tech founder alleged in a Threads post that Tesla has misled consumers on a "massive scale."
A Facebook cofounder's attacks against Tesla continues, and it comes with one of his boldest allegations against the company to date: Tesla is the next Enron.
Dustin Moskovitz, the Facebook cofounder who later went on to start Asana, claimed in a Threads post on Wednesday that the EV maker has misled consumers "on a massive scale," accusing Tesla of lying about its Full-Self Driving software and the vehicle's ranges.
Spokespeople for Tesla and Asana did not respond to a request for comment.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk did not directly address Moskovitz's allegations but instead, on Friday, hurled insults and a slur at the Facebook cofounder on X.
Musk then followed up with another post: "I'd like to apologize to Dustin Moskovitz for calling him a 'retard'. That was wrong. What I meant to say is that he is a pompous idiot whose his head is so far up his own ass that he is legally blind. I wish him the best and hope that someday we can be friends."

What I meant to say is that he is a pompous idiot whose his head is so far up his own ass that he is legally blind.

Moskovitz had not yet addressed Musk's posts on Friday.
On Wednesday, the Facebook cofounder acknowledged the gravity of his comments in his social media post.
"I know I sound crazy to most people who don't follow $TSLA closely but at this point it really needs to be said," he wrote. "This is Enron now, folks."
To recap the two-decade-old scandal, Enron, the energy giant, filed for bankruptcy in 2001 after it was caught using creative accounting to hide billions of dollars in debt and lying about its sources of revenue. The company's chief executives were found guilty of fraud and conspiracy in 2006.
Moskovitz didn't outline detailed evidence for each of his allegations, but he did share graphs from Tesla that he claims reveal how the automaker is trying to show an increase in miles driven with FSD, Tesla's driver-assistance technology that is critical for the company's path to autonomous driving and robotaxis.
