It's not enough. Musk has repeatedly lied about the capabilities and people have been injured or died because of it

This. If a mechanic (even accidentally) cut someone's break lines while working on their car and then said "Oh no! I checked it all over! It's solid, everything works!", they'd be criminally accountable for the outcome. Don't see why Tesla shouldn't just because the scale is vastly bigger.

That's the part I hate. That someone can wash their hands of liability because they did something bad on a large scale. "Take responsibility for our actions? That could affect our share price! And then the politicians that are shareholders could lose money!"

I have read court cases where the damages were significantly reduced or just removed because "there were a large number of institutional investors (mutual funds) that could be impacted by this decision"

Eismargo, please tell the Musks this: "Hey, Muskrats! Why don't you all tell yourselves of the time that all of you shut the fuck up?!"

Ukraine has a law making it illegal for oligarchs to donate to political campaigns or run for office. I say we do the same.

Billionaires should be forbidden to vote or participate in politics in any way. And of course, END CITIZENS UNITED!

Anyone who hasn't paid their fair share of taxes shouldn't get to vote. "Not representation without taxation!" 😄

A lot of places in Europe tried that. Then we abolished it, because it creates an exploitable sub-class who have no means of gaining enough money to be considered 'valued members of society' due to the law, and no way of changing the law due to lack of money. And then they revolt.

You mean a bit like the system they have in the US at the moment then?

Yeah, this is the eternal problem - no matter what system we create, there's always some group of pricks determined to create an exploitable sub-class within it. Their methods vary (when they have to), but they're always there, like a cancer. Just saying that system isn't immune either.

Their problem is that if they do something about the crime and poverty in the worst cities, they wouldn't have anywhere to recruit National Guardsmen from to ship out of state.

which won't happen until we have about 16 years of democratic control first. y'all need to play the long game like republicans and stop looking for the one click solution to fix all problems today.
