Per Cuomo's aide they were asked to make a valve and have made no progress on doing what they were asked by Medtronic. Its stupid to build an entire ventilator from scratch as a company that doesn't even do biomed stuff, everyone else is using another company's design or just building needed parts and bringing in engineers from the companies that have been doing this. Tesla is on the "2nd rev" of their own design.
It was a stupid thing to say in the first place, they have been told how they can help, they are doing their own thing and not actually contributing.
And Musk did lie - he delivered not what he promised for the vast majority of what was given, for the few that were actually given they took them out of the box and slapped their own holographic label on them. The whole thing is an insane show of narcissism because he feeds on attention from people tweeting "Thanks Elon!!!!1!" while the people actually helping are doing it quietly.
