every time a company Musk runs puts out lousy, smug voiced copy like that disclaimer and "this is a legacy verified, it may or may not be notable" you can safely bet that he personally dictated it and ordered it to be put in

It's clear Walter Huang's family lawyers have these emails. They repeatedly ask Elluswamy about musk involvement in the video and the fact that it's 'Continuous.' The Elluswamy dood goes on a pedantic back and forth about what 'continuous' means as if the lawyers are likening it to the opening scene of Touch of Evil. They also ask how involved he was who did what and whether musk was keeping tabs on what was going on while Ellusswamy does his clueless routine the whole time.

@MoodyHikmet: So, Tesla's lawyers saw my tweets from a couple weeks ago about the deposition transcripts and they didn't appreciate them very much. Here is a video about it: In Huang vs Tesla, Tesla has filed...…

I don't know whether it is sad or funny that the guy who posted Tesla self driving fucking up and made the news still owns a Tesla, but Tesla has blackballed him from receiving repairs to his Tesla.

Imagine posting "my shitbox civic broke down again" on Instagram and having the CEO of Honda turn up and have a meltdown on your doorstep.

I assume they found out about their (lack of) unemployment benefits tho
It keeps happening

Eberhard, who Musk ousted as CEO of Tesla in 2007, said creating software for the electric cars to drive themselves was the least of his concerns when he was at Tesla.

"So, keep in mind that all this FSD autonomous, autopilot crap — none of that existed when I was there," he said. "We were still busy trying to make the car work and we never thought about that at all. That came later. That requires a much, much bigger budget than we had."
