San Francisco, California – Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made a generous gesture by covering the cost of 4,000 mini pies for a bakery in San Francisco after Tesla canceled an order at the last minute. Giving Pies bakery in San Francisco was left in a tough spot when Tesla backed out of the order just before delivery, leaving them out of pocket by $2,000. In response to the bakery’s predicament, Elon Musk stepped in to resolve the issue by placing a new order for 4,000 pies, but the bakery was already overwhelmed with well-wishers and couldn’t accommodate the new order.
The owner of the bakery, Voahangy Rasetarinera, expressed her gratitude for the support, stating, “It’s incredible, I’m blown away. I’m so grateful, it’s amazing, people are amazing.” The community rallied around the bakery, with even the mayor of San Jose showing support by patronizing the establishment. The mayor mentioned that the queues for the bakery wrapped around the block, showing the outpouring of support for the small business after the initial order fell through.
Elon Musk took to social media to address the situation, ensuring that the bakery would be taken care of. He acknowledged the issue on X, formerly Twitter, stating, “Will make things good with the bakery. People should always be able to count on Tesla trying its best.” Despite Tesla’s fresh request for 3,600 more mini pies, the bakery had to decline as they had depleted their stock due to the overwhelming support from the community.
This heartwarming gesture from Elon Musk not only helped the bakery recover from the financial setback but also brought the community together in support of a local business. The resilience and community spirit showcased in this situation highlight the importance of coming together to support small businesses during challenging times. The kindness and generosity displayed by Elon Musk and the local community in San Francisco serve as a reminder of the positive impact that acts of kindness can have on individuals and businesses alike.
