    1. How come Elon hasn’t been sued into bankruptcy over these deaths?
    2. How is FSD not outright criminal fraud?
    3. How is not having accessible door handles in a fire allowed, legal, and not the source of massive lawsuits?
    4. How is FSD allowed when it’s objectively one of the least safe driving modes around?

    Fuck, this is like a fractal of liability that somehow they never get in trouble for. Everywhere you look it gets worse.

      1. He’s disgustingly rich.
      2. He’s disgustingly rich.
      3. He’s disgustingly rich.
      4. He’s disgustingly rich.

      They have been sued, but it doesn’t matter, because that’s just the cost of doing business. (If the punishment for a crime is a fine, it’s only illegal for poor people to do it.)

      The dude owns a platform that actively generates nude photos of real people on the platform. Then proceeded to put the child porn generating feature behind a paywall when shamed publicly.

      At what point will people realize that laws do not apply to the capitalist (Epstein) class. Shame is literally the only (non violent) weapon we have left and they are actively working to stop that as well.

      The only way they will see non vigilante justice is at the hands of a revolution.

        …I honestly don’t think rich people feel incredible shame by being referred to as the Epstein class. They don’t care.

      1. They haven’t been found to be at fault for enough crashes to cost more than their profits
      2. It seems to work well for most people
      3. They have mechanical door releases, they are detailed in the owner’s manual
      4. It seems to have fewer fatal accidents than human drivers, try not to mistake highly reported collisions for high rate collisions

      Well you see, being the world’s richest person enables him to do whatever he wants without repercussion. And what’s a poorer person going to do, go bankrupt and homeless fighting his lawyers?

      Also:

      1. How is it that the company that makes this shit has a price-to-earnings ratio of 326 and a market cap of $1.3 trillion. Meanwhile Toyota makes good dependable cars and has a P/E ratio of 11.41 and a market cap of $266 billion, even though Toyota sells 10x as many cars.
