I hope Elon is personally held responsible for this death.

It is crystal clear that Autopilot, Full Self Driving, and other marketing terms are deceptive and dangerous, yet led countless people to spend five figures each enriching the now wealthiest person.



Musk-aside, I really want someone looking into what happened with the regulators. Yes, plural. From the FTC for allowing the marketing claims, to the NHTSA for allowing it on roads, plus whoever I may be missing.

There has to have been some financial incentive for key regulatory personnel to look the other way so frequently. I don't mean Elon dropping off bags of cash, I mean something as simple as them having Tesla shares, but not being forced to disclose this or recuse themselves from any decision or case relating to Tesla.


It will result in a one-off tax on their operation


Even in the worst case the liability falls on Tesla, not Musk.
