Elon Musk has been engaging in blatant public lies for years -- long before he outed himself as a right-wing extremist and used deceit to promote Trump -- by promising Tesla features that the company he controls has never come close to delivering.
How is this anything but fraud?
Yet he's skated away every time from accountability, and most media "coverage" has been ridiculously credulous. Concurrent failure by law enforcement, regulation, and journalism.
