Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has once again taken to his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, targeting a company owned by former Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz.
What Happened: On Sunday, Musk responded to a post criticizing Moskovitz's company, Asana Inc. (NYSE:ASAN), for its work management model. The post by a user, who goes by the name "Whole Mars Catalog (Supervised)" on the platform, suggested that Asana's services are nothing but a "to-do list."
"The most hilarious part of Dustin Moskovitz attacking the Tesla AI team is that after leaving Facebook he started a to-do list app," the user said, adding, "Really? You're going to shit on the people changing the world when you were handed billions and decided the world needed another to-do list?"
Musk commented on the post, saying, "I never knew what Asana did until today. Why would anyone pay money for functionality that comes for free on your phone?"

Why It Matters: Last week, Moskovitz, who is the CEO and co-founder of Asana, accused Tesla of consumer fraud on a massive scale. He likened Tesla's actions to those of Enron, a corporation that went bankrupt in 2001 due to a massive accounting fraud.
"I know I sound crazy to most people who don't follow $TSLA closely but at this point it really needs to be said. This is Enron now, folks," he said in a post on Threads.
Musk responded to these allegations by taking a swipe at Moskovitz, and saying, he "should go to jail for impersonating a smart person." This public exchange between the two tech giants has sparked a lot of interest in the industry.

特斯拉和SpaceX首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克再次將目標對準了前Facebook聯合創始人達斯汀·莫斯科維茨旗下的一家公司，其目標是其社交媒體平台X（前身爲Twitter）。
發生了什麼：週日，馬斯克回應了一篇批評莫斯科維茨的公司Asana Inc.（紐約證券交易所代碼：ASAN）工作管理模式的帖子。平台上一位名爲 “Whole Mars Catalog（受監督）” 的用戶的帖子表明，Asana的服務不過是一個 “待辦事項清單”。
該用戶說：“達斯汀·莫斯科維茨攻擊特斯拉人工智能團隊最搞笑的部分是，他在離開Facebook後啓動了一款待辦事項清單應用程序，” 他補充說，“真的嗎？當你獲得數十億美元並決定世界需要另一份待辦事項清單時，你會對那些改變世界的人們大吃一驚嗎？”
馬斯克對這篇文章發表評論說：“直到今天我才知道Asana做了什麼。爲什麼有人會花錢購買你手機上免費提供的功能？”

爲何重要：上週，Asana首席執行官兼聯合創始人莫斯科維茨指責特斯拉大規模欺詐消費者。他將特斯拉的行爲比作安然的行爲，安然公司因大規模會計欺詐而於2001年破產。
“我知道對於大多數不密切關注$TSLA的人來說，我聽起來很瘋狂，但現在確實需要說出來。夥計們，現在是安然了。” 他在Threads上的一篇文章中說。
馬斯克在回應這些指控時對莫斯科維茨進行了輕描淡寫，並說他 “應該因爲冒充聰明人而入獄”。兩家科技巨頭之間的公開交流激發了該行業的極大興趣。
