Elon Musk to cover huge bill for brave fella who sacrificed luxury Tesla car to save another’s life
BILLIONAIRE Elon Musk has promised to cover the damage for a driver who sacrificed his pricey Tesla car to save a man's life.
Manfred Kick, 41, was driving his Tesla Model S when he noticed a man in a Volkswagen driving strangely on the Autobhan near Munich, Germany.
He realised that the driver had fallen unconscious and quickly pulled in front of the car, braking until both came to a stop.
Mr Musk took to Twitter to pay tribute to the brave man, writing: "Congrats to the Tesla owner who sacrificed damage to his own car to bring a car with an unconscious driver safely to a stop!"
He added that Tesla would provide "all repair costs free of charge and expedited".
Tesla Model S cars start at around £60,000.
Mr Fink would likely have had to pay tens of thousands of euro in damage following the incident if Mr Musk had not picked up on the incident.
The tech entrepreneur owns Tesla and SpaceX, a space exploration company that is hoping to put humans on Mars in the near future.
Mr Musk is one of Donald Trump's special advisors, and is working with the US president to help his goal of sending more American astronauts to the moon.
