An Australian mining billionaire called Elon Musk a "muppet" earlier this year for dismissing hydrogen as a clean fuel. This week he suggested the Tesla chief is anti-hydrogen because he's bet on electric batteries.
Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest, the CEO of Fortescue Metals, was asked by a shareholder at the company's annual meeting on Tuesday about the times he "crossed swords" with the Tesla chief.
