postmetaon Boeing Starliner launches first crewed mission

I don't want to go deep down this rabbit hole, but when Elon "took over the company" it had no IP, or products, or employees and had produced nothing of value.

postmetaon Tesla starts using 'Supervised Full Self-Driving' language

postmetaon Tesla starts using 'Supervised Full Self-Driving' language

The CEO's forward looking vision statements are not the same as spec sheets or a product user manual.

The website never said robotaxi. The manual never said robotaxi. The app never said robotaxi.

How is it illegal for the CEO to have a vision for the future of the product?
