Disclaimer about this guy Ogan, if you track his online accounts it’s very anti-Tesla auto-pilot/self-driving. Rightfully so in some situations.

Also he is a investor in a Chinese competitor to Tesla (EV and self-driving abilities). Take his words with a grain of salt.

Well, it seems like he has a reason to be highly skeptical of Tesla auto-pilot, based on how awful and dangerous the technology appears to be. Not to mention Musk's repeated broken promises about the timeline and functionality.

He claimed on Twitter spaces a couple weeks ago that he has a large investment in Tesla as well - based on their gross margins and growth, not based on FSD

Luckily we don't have to take his word for it, we can just watch his video with our own eyes.

anti Musk and anti Tesla astroturfing is a tale as old as time. A lot of it has always been rooted in people with financial interests in Tesla doing poorly

I always flag these topics. The comments are nearly verbatim identical to the last 20 times FSD gets posted and nothing about the conversation is interesting

aka the problems are the same as they were. That’s a good metric for the lack of progress on the issues.

aka there's been a lot of progress and people still like to say there hasn't been and that elon should be sued for fraud because it isn't a perfect self driving machine yet

Like Elon has himself said in corporate communications, and documents lodged with the SEC, for years on end?

I'm sure you also flag pro Tesla stories from people with large financial positions, too, for neutrality, right?

Right?
