In a 2009 interview with Charlie Rose, Tesla CEO Elon Musk praised Tata Group's Ratan Tata, calling him a "gentleman and scholar." Musk admired the Tata Nano, introduced in 2008 as the world's cheapest car, but expressed concerns about its long-term viability due to rising fuel costs. Musk stated that while the Nano's affordability was revolutionary, the rising gasoline prices could hinder the car's success. Despite initial excitement, the Tata Nano faced branding issues and safety concerns, leading to its discontinuation in 2018.
