Everyone knows Elon Musk is a liar.
Everyone knows Elon Musk stock is a scam.
He’s like Enron, without the power.
The latest chapter, let’s call it 11, is a “RoboTaxi” fever-dream going about as well as Elon Musk promises to have flying cars that land on Mars.
…humans generally have a crash, whether they are at fault or not, every 700,000 miles. Tesla has 7 in probably ~300,000 miles, which should be worrying to anyone, whether the Robotaxis were responsible or not.
Human rate: 1/700,000 = 0.00000143 crashes per mile
Tesla rate: 7/300,000 = 0.0000233 crashes per mile
The ratio:
0.0000233 ÷ 0.00000143 = 16.3x higher crash rate
Elektrek is just being honest, giving a plain assessment of the latest Tesla scam.
Unlike other companies reporting to NHTSA, Tesla abuses the right to redact data reported through the system. The automaker redacts the “narrative” for each reported crash, preventing the public from knowing how the crashes happened and who is responsible.
Based on the limited information in Tesla’s reports, we know that one of the new crashes involved a Robotaxi driving into a car backing up, another involved a cyclist, and the last one involved an unknown animal.
The product is garbage, and its related stock so utterly worthless, it’s no wonder Peter Thiel just dumped his.
Tesla’s systematic redaction of crash narratives prevents independent assessment of fault and causation. This is exactly the kind of opacity that enables continued marketing claims disconnected from material reality.
That is why a Peter Thiel exit detail is particularly telling given his “ACTS 17” levels of tolerance for ethically questionable ventures (e.g. Nazism).
Wouldn’t It Be Funny if We Tricked a Bunch of People into Going [in RoboTaxis to Death Camps]?
When even Thiel bails on Swastikars, that’s a strong signal about the scam’s ongoing viability.
