Comment on Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 months agoMaybe, but you could easily argue that no reasonable CEO would make such claims. And any company that size should have levels of review and therefore liability if they were people who clearly knew it was false.

Totally, though the hyperbole defense is real and much easier to argue. They will just say that Musk is part hype man for Tesla. Rhetorical hyperbole has been confirmed by the supreme Court to be a first amendment protected activity. You may feel this is dumb, but was also how John Oliver was able to repeatedly tell Bob Murray to eat shit.
