Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps…

… But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!

    The source is a fake website with the only articles being about criticizing Tesla. I am not a fan of Tesla or Musk, to say the least, but this is no better than X’s propaganda…

    I just read on the article about how all the “tesla influencers” are refusing to comment on news media and instead insisting they only talk about it on Twitter.

    Couldn’t be more manufactured consent if they tried.

      That part really pissed me off.

      I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )

    Looking forward to the headlines: “Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph”

      The sad thing is these things will probably not be taken of the road until a few dozen people have been run over.

      And these greedy, unscrupulous, technofascist enabling influencers promoted it. This is our current normal apparently.I hate mainstream internet culture with a passion.
