A 2023 Tesla Model S was involved in a fatal crash in Henry County, Missouri, when it left the road at approximately 2 AM, collided with multiple trees, overturned, and caught fire, resulting in two deaths. The incident has raised new questions about Tesla’s misnamed driver assistance systems – whether called Autopilot, FSD, or their latest rebranding – and their potential role in unintended acceleration events.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a south bound 2023 Tesla Model S was on Missouri 8 [sic] at SW 100 Road (west of Clinton) just before 2 a.m., when the Tesla traveled off the left side of the roadway and struck several trees. The Tesla then overturned and caught fire.

A very typical Tesla tragedy, it
follows a familiar pattern.
For nine consecutive years, Elon Musk has made public promises about preventing such tragedies. Just recently, he boldly claimed there would be no more Tesla crashes starting in 2025 – literally saying “it really just won’t crash” – right before a series of fatal crashes in 2025.
Notice also how Musk has shifted focus of late, attacking the U.S. government as a dog that needs “efficiency” (DOG-E). The irony is clear: after using highly defective vehicles to capitalize on government credits and subsidies, while falling far below baselines of safety, he’s now seeking to directly access taxpayer money as his personal slush fund.
Without the pretense of being a car manufacturer, just transferring federal funds into his pockets without any other steps, he no longer needs to address the mounting death toll from Tesla’s dangerously flawed technology.

Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” technology represents one of the most brazen frauds in automotive history. Since 2016, this dangerous deception has extracted billions from customers while delivering nothing but broken promises and crashed vehicles. Former Tesla engineers have testified to the deliberate nature of this fraud, yet the tragedy continues to rise.

The latest example is so tragically predictable as to be tired: a Cybertruck owner has complained Tesla’s most advanced FSD system – version 13.2.4, the very one Musk just promised everyone could achieve “zero crashes” in 2025 – drove itself over a curb and straight into a pole in Nevada.

Consider the irony in watching vehicles built on techno-fascist promises of supremacy being defeated by simple street infrastructure.
Dare I say it’s poetic how the Nazi Swasticar keeps getting destroyed by the… Poles? What would Rejewski say? I mean Tesla engineers maybe are interpreting history correctly when their Swasticar AI commits suicide?
Elon Musk has been a frequent promoter of the AfD (Nazi) Party in Germany, which generates widespread disgust and protests such as this graffiti outside the Tesla factory in Germany.
The evidence of systemic failure is overwhelming. While other autonomous vehicle companies have proactively recalled their systems to address similar collision risks, Tesla stands alone in its refusal to acknowledge fundamental flaws despite the tragedies they cause.
Their bogus “efficient” camera-only design, built with cheap consumer-grade parts of low resolution, represents more than just obvious technical shortcomings – it embodies the reckless disregard for safety. Each new crash into poles and trees isn’t an isolated incident, but rather confirmation of fraud in design philosophy. Their 2025 promise of “zero crashes” stands as yet another outrageously hollow escalation in a long history of shameless deception.
The pattern is painfully clear: whenever Tesla’s autonomous systems fail, Musk simply redefines success. He’s perfected a cycle of extracting public funds while delivering nothing but excuses, pushing deadlines that were already broken promises from 2017.
This same fraudulent playbook extends beyond Tesla’s roads into Musk’s space ventures. While dozens of government space programs have successfully and repeatedly already reached Mars through methodical, proven engineering, Musk promised to outperform them all by 2022 using billions in taxpayer money. Yet here we are in 2025, watching his rockets struggle to even leave Earth’s atmosphere.
The contrast is stark: NASA’s proven track record of safety and achievement versus Musk’s trail of broken promises and public endangerment. Yet somehow he continues selling the next fantasy – right up until his technology drives another customer into a pole
South Africans know this type all too well. In 1994, as democracy arrived, the AWB (Nazi) party boasted they would violently seize control of government in the name of “efficiency” – a chilling parallel to today’s DOGE crypto-fascist promises. Their end came swiftly: after years of terrorizing Black neighborhoods with drive-by shootings targeting women and children, AWB militants made one final attempt at violent control. A single police officer ended the reign of terror, leaving their bodies in the dirt as a stark reminder that claims of supremacy ultimately collapse when confronted with reality.
A single police officer in 1994 killed these Nazis (AWB) who had been driving around randomly shooting at Black people. It was headline news at the time, because AWB had promised they would start civil war to forcibly remove all Blacks from government. Instead they ended up dead on the side of a road
There is no bigger fraud than the 1980s AWB-inspired visions of Elon Musk. Clearly he believes that because he left South Africa with all his apartheid money laundered in America that he’s above the law, able to put lives at risk without consequence.
Just as the AWB’s promises of whites-only control died on the side of a road in 1994, Tesla’s grandiose claims about FSD technology keep crashing into literal poles in 2025.
While South Africa’s transition to democracy brought accountability (police officers doing their job to protect Black civilians) and an end to AWB terrorism, Tesla’s autonomous driving system somehow continues unrestrained to endanger lives while dodging responsibility, backed by the same dangerous ideology of technological supremacy and unaccountable white power.
This isn’t about missed deadlines or technical challenges – it’s about a deliberate pattern of deception rooted in apartheid-era thinking, where promises of “efficiency” mask a deadly racist disregard for human life. History has shown us exactly where this path leads. When lives are at stake, we must recognize these failures for what they are: not bugs to be patched, but features of a system built on fraud and impunity.
Allegedly Elon Musk had the sudden 1994 death of South African Nazi (AWB) terrorists in mind when he marketed his Swasticar to Nazi terrorist groups in America as bullet-proof
For many years the dangerous inferiority of Tesla products, the inability to achieve even baseline quality levels let alone real-world safety, have threatened any true notions of value.
Severe quality and safety concerns have raised many important questions about the company’s value proposition. To state some of the obvious issues again, that should have blocked sales long before now, consider the following.
Tesla vehicles have shown devastating reliability problems, with reports of critical failures occurring within extremely low mileage ranges. The recently released Cybertruck reportedly experiences critical failures before reaching 1,000 miles. This is a significant decline from an already industry-worst average with Tesla major repairs or replacement needed before 10,000 miles, many going straight to junkyards riddled with recalls at rates far higher than industry averages.
Tesla’s response to their obvious quality issues has been censorship, to implement closed systems for both service and insurance:
A restricted service model that prevents independent repairs
A proprietary insurance program that obscures true failure rates
Disinformation tactics on social media and news, coupled with gag-rules in terms of service, trying to pollute and censor public reporting of issues
The safety record has been particularly troubling, given their newest model called a Cybertruck, marketed as a “survival” vehicle, has posted a fatality rate 17 times higher than the Ford Pinto.
The company’s business practices are rightfully criticized as fraud: collecting substantial upfront payments while delivering products that often fall short of promises or never deliver at all, while killing an alarming number of customers.
Key Observations: Data from Tesladeaths.com and the NHTSA clearly shows that both serious incidents (orange line) and fatal incidents (pink line) are increasing at a steeper rate than the fleet size growth (blue line). This is particularly evident from 2021 onwards, where: Fleet size (blue) shows a linear growth of about 1x per year. Serious incidents (orange) show an exponential growth curve, reaching nearly 5x by 2024. Fatal incidents (pink) also show a steeper-than-linear growth, though not as dramatic as serious incidents. The divergence between the blue line (fleet growth) and the incident lines (orange and pink) indicates that incidents are indeed accelerating faster than the production/deployment of new vehicles.
Questions about commitment to product delivery versus financial engineering, might finally be having an effect according to the latest headlines. Sales are reportedly crashing all around the world. Despite EV sales stronger than ever, rising dramatically for other car brands, the Tesla numbers show steep decline.
The decline in 2024 Sales of Tesla in California versus 2023 was so massive (grey bar at bottom) they almost fell off the chart versus other EV brands reporting rapid upward growth.

So what, the eagle-eyed observer would say. Does a lack of car sales by a fraudulent car company that never cared about cars really matter anyway? It’s always just been selling the blood-diamonds of the road, pumping cynical hype and fantasy while running from accountability for dangerous harms. Indeed, it’s hard not to notice that while customers have been running away from Tesla faster than it can kill them, investors meanwhile are happily buying into the fraud.

Tesla’s CEO famously built the company profit scheme from the beginning on paper statements printed by the federal government (basically the automobile-maker equivalent of food stamps) and reselling them as “credits” to legacy car companies as a means to help them keep making high-pollution gas-guzzlers for his profit. And of course he cynically called himself an environmentalist (literally a toxic fraudster) during this time as a cruel joke.
To make an even finer point, just as VW was being charged with cheating diesel emission laws, Elon Musk rushed to deploy the most polluting giant diesel generators he could find in a massive troll stunt. He announced he would deliver the future of Tesla charging entirely on solar power, intentionally belching pollution to troll the German car company facing criminal prosecution. It wasn’t just setup as a cruel joke, pumping stock on intentional deceptions, it was Elon Musk signaling to Wall Street he would do whatever laws said he shouldn’t.
Fast forward to today and he’s been inserting his “Big Balls” illegally into control over federal government coffers in order to redirect federal funds directly into his pockets. Why bother with the mess of a complex ruse to transfer funds through fake cars when he can just reach directly into his victims’ bank accounts?
The giant car company fraud scheme seems quite unnecessary to achieve what he always has done and will do even more of now – turn the entire American government into welfare for a few white supremacists.
Should he care all his car sales are crashing around the world? On what basis? He probably thinks his cars are meant to crash… into anyone targeted for being opposed to dictatorship. Do weapons manufacturers make money? Bombs away!
Swasticars: Remote-controlled dangerously explosive vehicles are being stockpiled by Musk outside major cities around the world.
The company’s stock valuation has risen on this formula, creating an operational reality to a very particular implementation of systemic racism in a militant dictatorship.
A single South African police officer in 1994 killed Nazi domestic terrorists (AWB) who had been driving around shooting at women and children. It was headline news at the time because AWB said a civil war was inevitable to forcibly remove all non-whites from government. Instead they ended up dead on the side of a dirt road. South African Elon Musk has advertised his Cybertruck as bulletproof, allegedly as a nod to these Nazi groups to signal this time he can help them seize control of government.
Apparently a significant number of investors are on board with this Nazi formula, actually believe that this time the fascist suicide ride will turn out very well for them.
A new analysis by independent automotive blog FuelArc suggests that fire fatalities are 17 times more likely in a Cybertruck than in the infamous Ford Pinto — the posterchild of deadly cars if ever there was one.
The site arrives at that conclusion by comparing the total units sold so far — 34,438 for the Cybertruck, compared to 3,173,491 for the ill-fated Pinto, discontinued in 1980 — and comparing reported fire fatalities for both.
At the current rate of horrible fiery deaths, FuelArc projects the Cybertruck will have 14.52 fatalities per 100,000 units — far eclipsing the Pinto’s 0.85. (In absolute terms, FuelArc found, 27 Pinto drivers died in fires, while five Cybertruck drivers have suffered the same fate, at least so far.)
Notably, Tesla’s profit-driven love of design defects inside an opaque service model has produced “driverless” software that has killed far more Americans than even domestic terrorists who used cars.
Also notably, when a Musk-worshiping highly decorated Green Beret going through a mental health crisis carefully rigged a Cybertruck to expressly not harm anyone from a massive suicidal explosion as his cry for help, the Tesla CEO shamelessly mocked the dead soldier for failing to cause even greater harms to Americans and their property. Think about this horrible end to the Tesla faithful, killing themselves for a man who intentionally takes their money for nothing and cares not at all about them or America.
