Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has shot down any potential buzz around the EV giant ever making a motorcycle.
‘Never Happening,' Says Elon Musk
Responding to an AI-generated video posted on the social media platform X on Sunday, Musk reiterated his stance on motorcycles. "Never happening, as we can't make motorcycles safe," Musk said in the response.
He then shared the reason behind his stance. "My near death experience was on a road bike," Musk shared. However, the CEO added that dirt bikes were safe if ridden carefully, as "you can't be smashed by a truck."

Harley-Davidson also beat analyst expectations on EPS, reporting an earnings per share of $3.10, which far exceeded market estimates of EPS $1.46. However, the company reported an operating loss of $72–$77 million on its all-electric LiveWire subsidiary.
