In recent weeks Tesla has come underfire following a fatal Tesla 'autopilot' crash in Florida and has since been subjected to a federal probe.

Critics have called for Tesla's autopilot mode to be scrapped or at least renamed, while Telsa vehicle owners appear to have backed the company.

Earlier today Musk sent a Tweet clearing up speculation on customers' views on the cars' 'autopilot' mode.

Musk said Tesla customers were "smart" and didn't want the media speaking on their behalf.

Tesla customers are v smart & don't want media speaking on their behalf abt Autopilot. Recent poll: 0.0% want it disabled -- not 0.1%, 0.0%.

Musk is the co-founder of space firm SpaceX and has been focused on the safe landing of rockets stages after launch - allowing them to be quickly re-used. He hopes this will bring the cost of satellite launches down dramatically.
