  Millions of people’s personal data gets leaked, Musk’s cowboy “pry open the floor and electrical panels with a knife” electrocutes him, or blows the power for the room/floor/building or starts a fire.

    That one is a risk I'm willing to take. I had to stop reading the article for a moment to marvel at just how close we really were.

      Elon nearly took out both himself and Peter Thiel by rolling his McClaren F1 trying to show off during the PayPal days.

      What could have been.

    Isn’t all of it encrypted though? Like I understand physical access to servers is generally bad, but you’d think once the the things are unplugged it would be difficult to access the data again without bypassing encryption. I’m clearly not a software engineer though lol

  The servers were not actually secured in the truck properly, so another scenario would have been the damage and destruction of some or all of them.

  Plus, yes, theft. And it's not just proprietary data, it was also personal and financial data for users and advertisers.

    I imagine thousands of pounds of unsecured load would be potentially dangerous for the driver and all other drivers on the road too.
