⚡️Roadster A spectacular debut drew congratulations from Musk’s longtime public rival Altman, who received a calm response
BlockBeats reported that October 17, Tesla’s next-generation Roadster made its debut yesterday. During the demonstration,Roadster used SpaceX cold-gas propulsion and a bottom suction system to perform stunts including inverted hill climbing, aerial flips, and jumping over cars, 0-60-mile acceleration in under 1 seconds, drawing widespread attention.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman subsequently posted congratulations on X: “The new Roadster looks quite spectacular—well done, Elon.” As longtime public “rivals,” the community was quite surprised by Altman’s statement. Musk did not respond with direct enthusiasm; instead, in a related discussion thread, he replied “Indeed” to jokes such as whether he had canceled the previous cancellation of the order, in a restrained and slightly teasing tone.
The two had previously had a public feud over Roadster. At the end of 2025, Altman posted that he had preordered the vehicle for nearly 7.5 years without delivery and requested a refund of approximately 50000 USD in deposit, while sharing the relevant emails. Musk responded that the refund had actually been processed quickly and again raised disputes related to OpenAI. The congratulations and calm response have prompted renewed speculation about their relationship, but the core conflict has not been resolved.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is a report about a new Roadster demonstration and the public interaction between Altman and Musk. Altman praised the vehicle, while Musk used “Indeed” to respond to a joke in the related discussion; the existing text does not indicate that this was a direct response to Altman’s congratulations.
Why it matters to readers
The stunts and acceleration performance described in the report may increase attention to the Roadster’s performance, while the interaction between the two public figures has also prompted discussion of their relationship. However, the material provides no sales, pricing, mass-production, or delivery plans, so its commercial impact cannot be assessed on this basis.
New readers should distinguish product demonstrations and social-media interactions from actual mass production and financial performance; performance descriptions from a demonstration do not mean that consumers will ultimately be able to purchase vehicles with the same specifications.
Risks and unknowns
The material does not include Tesla’s official demonstration materials, so the stunts and acceleration performance cannot be independently verified solely on the evidence provided.
The material does not provide links to Altman’s and Musk’s original X posts, so the complete context cannot be checked.
It cannot be confirmed whether Musk’s “Indeed” was a direct response to Altman’s congratulations.
Roadster The pricing, mass-production timeline, delivery arrangements, and final specifications have not been disclosed.
