Musk Says Tesla Will Return Some Cybertruck Deposits

Elon Musk said Monday that Tesla will return some deposits paid for the Cybertruck, according to a CBS News report on Musk's remarks. The outlet's summary says Musk stated that the Cybertruck order rate "far exceeds" Tesla's production pace.

The CBS News summary does not state how many deposits Tesla will return, how many orders have been placed, what the production pace is, or when any refunds would be issued. It also does not say whether the return of deposits applies to all customers.

Fox News reported separately that Scott Galloway, a New York University professor and podcaster, sold his Tesla as a protest against Elon Musk's online behavior. According to the summary of a Fox News report on Galloway's comments, he said he had defecated in the vehicle's passenger seat before selling it.

The Fox News summary does not say when Galloway made the statement or identify the specific online conduct he objected to. It also does not describe the buyer or the sale price.

Neither the CBS News summary nor the Fox News summary connects Musk's comments about Cybertruck deposits with Galloway's sale of his Tesla. The two reports concern separate matters that both involve Musk and Tesla, and the summaries present them independently.

This account is drawn from the headlines and summaries of the two reports rather than the full articles, so details that appear in the complete reporting may not be reflected here. Further information on the Cybertruck deposits and the Galloway sale was not available from these sources.
