Certainly, Clarkson has upset Musk before, exciting a libel action out of him in 2011 for comments Clarkson made about Tesla on Top Gear. A judge ruled against Musk then, a fact Clarkson is only too happy to remind him about now. In his Sunday Times column, Clarkson referred to the “pan-global decision to uncrowdfund Tesla”, and took a victory lap around news of Teslas being set on fire and vandalised the world over. “I'd love to remind all you Tesla drivers that I warned you 17 years ago that no good would come of your buying choice,” he wrote in his customary low-key style. “But you didn’t listen.”
