After a publicized incident involving a California bakery and Tesla, billionaire Elon Musk has stepped in to resolve the matter, ensuring that the outstanding bill for a substantial order of mini pies has been settled.
The saga began when Giving Pies, a Black-owned bakery in San Jose, California, received a last-minute order for 2,000 pies from Tesla on Valentine’s Day. The order was subsequently doubled to 4,000 pies before Tesla canceled it without payment, leaving the bakery owner, Voahangy Rasetarinera, out of pocket.
Following media coverage of the incident, Musk responded to the story on social media, pledging to “make things good” with the bakery. True to his word, Tesla promptly paid the $2,000 owed to Giving Pies, resolving the dispute.
Rasetarinera expressed her gratitude for the support received from both the local community and people around the world in the wake of the incident. The bakery saw an influx of customers, with hundreds lining up to purchase pies over the weekend.
Despite the setback caused by Tesla’s actions, Rasetarinera remains determined to pursue her passion as a business owner and continue serving her community with integrity and pride. The incident served as a reminder of the challenges faced by small businesses when dealing with larger corporations, highlighting the importance of accountability and support within the business community.
