It is funny, isn't it, that every single person that thought that some lives had to be sacrificed now for the greater good or something later somehow managed to exclude their own life, and that of their loved ones, out of that equation.

Exactly; almost no skin in the game here.

What are lawsuits and fines to someone who buys 40B companies out of boredom / like we comment on HN.

Responsibility and repercussions must become much clearer and more sharply felt to any so called “leadership”.

This is one, if not the main malaise of our times.

For all the criticisms of Elon Musk you could level (and there are many), this is a weird choice in that it's demonstrably wrong - he livestreamed himself driving using the newest version of FSD Beta very recently.
I remember when Tesla demoed FSD and it was all faked. Given the company’s track record of fraud and his personal track record of over promising and under delivering on this very product, why should anyone believe his video is what he says it is?

Did he? And we know that wasn't heavily prepared?

Also, Musk is very capabale of doing stupid things. Especially when it comes to social media likes. I mean he spent 44 billion for that same reason...

It obviously wasn’t heavily prepared as Musks Tesla tried to kill him during the livestream.
So Musk will end this whole FSD Beta testing on the roads, disable the feature on sold cars via OTA (at least one sensible use case for that in cars beyond map updates) and stop advertizing and / or selling it while reimbursing those who paid for it?
So he's used it.. once? Or are you saying he uses it exclusively to get around?
