Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, doesn't seem to like Elon Musk and his electric car company, Tesla. He called Elon and Tesla a lot of lying.
Recently, Wozniak was asked in an interview what he thinks about the future of computers, in particular the fusion of software with the human brain. Elon Musk was also mentioned because through his company Neuralink, he is testing a smart chip implant into the brains of living things.
Wozniak looked unimpressed by that. "Elon Musk, don't say that name near me," Woz said, as quoted by us from The Shield, Saturday (2/4/2022).
"Truth is the pinnacle of all good things. I grew up with it my whole life. You can't make up stories and Elon Musk and Tesla have told so many lies," he added.
Steve Wozniak did not elaborate further on the lies that Elon Musk said. However, in 2018, Steve Jobs' friend once criticized Elon Musk because the Tesla and SpaceX CEO often didn't keep what he said.
Especially about Musk's promises about Tesla's electric cars. For example, in August 2016, Elon promised Tesla cars could run automatically from Los Angeles to New York by the end of that year. But it didn't come true.
"Right now, I don't believe anything Elon Musk or Tesla says," said Steve Wozniak at the time.
In addition to these problems, Steve Wozniak also criticized the automatic steering capability in Tesla cars. For example, if you see something odd, such as a small object on the road, the system could be struggling. According to him, BMW and Audi technology is more qualified about automatic cars.
