Those are a little different.

Unfortunately being a competitor to Elon does not automatically make them a good guy.

How can journalism be unbiased when the world is inequal.

tb_ , 2 months ago to technology in Self-Driving Tesla Nearly Hits Oncoming Train, Raises New Concern On Car's Safety

Right. But can you blame the user for trusting the advertisement?

tb_ , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to technology in Self-Driving Tesla Nearly Hits Oncoming Train, Raises New Concern On Car's Safety

I wouldn’t trust Musk with my life either.

But, presumably, we have moved beyond the age of advertising snake oil and miracle cures; advertisements have to be somewhat factual.

I’ve heard they must maximise value by law, it seems that was wrong. If that’s not literally the law, then that’s a relief to hear.

Either way, the line must go up. Can’t continuously deliver a good service: if growth starts flatlining it is made more predatory.

If the CEO isn’t ruthless in their pursuit of increasing shareholder value they will get booted and may even be breaking the law.

Natural selection but you select for psychopathy.
