I think we need to have a conversation about Elon Musk and gas-lighting. I think we can all agree that some people are demonstrably taking what Musk has said to be a genuine statement about a feature in a new product. You can observe this from the people discussing in detail how it will work. Now, I'm not going to argue about that. Let's assume it turns out that this feature is not in the next Roadster. Can someone convince me that this isn't market manipulation? He's lying about features in his future products in a way that will clearly effect the market if they were true. And when it turns out to be untrue he'll throw his hands up and say it was a joke - despite literally saying he's not joking and going into details of the implementation. Tell me, how does this differ from when Elon Musk called someone a pedofile, repeatedly, then claimed that his accusations must be true because the guy didn't sue him, and then filed court documents claiming that it was clearly all a joke to defend himself from libel claims. Does anyone else feel uncomfortable handing ANY money or control to this person? I personally feel like Elon Musk seems to have started to cross a line into actively attacking some of the fundamental norms in our society in some sort of effort to avoid ever having to have any responsibility. This is genuinely starting to feel dangerous to me, maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but we've let this stuff slide in the past and it has been catastrophic.
