For people who do not want to wait for multiple Twitter spinners and multiple login and cookie popups, the content is:

" My commitment:

- We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win.

- We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose. "

Posted when?

May 20, 2022

It could have been posted May 20, 2024 and I don't think it would have any real meaning. Musk has zero credibility with this sort of thing regardless of when it was posted.

[bboygravity]

Got anything to substantiate this?

This website does a pretty good job: https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/

First glance at that website https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/ and I find this:

"September 2014 They will be a factor of 10 safer than a person [at the wheel] in a six-year time frame"

Which you can mostly write off with this data https://electrek.co/2024/05/22/tesla-finally-releases-autopi...

So maybe FSD isn't complete, but Tesla Autopilot has made a measurable improvement to fatalities and injuries on roads. The data shows this clearly.

Why does Tesla not ban him from making promises in tweets? Is it because they help the stock price more than they hurt it?

[fragmede]

You try telling Elon Musk not to post stuff. He ended up being forced to buy Twitter and pay an SEC fine because he tweets too much. He's going to post whatever he feels like, no matter what you, or anyone at Tesla, or the SEC says.

[serf]

"He's not going to listen to anything anyone at the SEC says!"

"...but he will pay their fines."

what a renegade!

[userbinator]

"A fine is just an overpriced cost."

[bagels]

The inference to draw is that the case was just?

[viraptor]

Or that the man posts stuff whether it's true or not. Based on the history, maybe it's safer to ignore this and just judge the actions.

[seoulmetro]

I wouldn't be surprised if Elon considers it just. Most people consider it just that a revolutionary technology owner is being held liable for their actions, even if they are nearly a decade afterwards.

Regulation for big corporations are more like suggestions these days, so this may even feel "fair enough" for Elon in retrospect.

[cortesoft]

Or the tweet was bullshit, and Tesla will do what every company does and determine whether it is better to settle or not based on the financial cost/benefit and not the truth or validity of the claim.

[jpcfl]

Or, that his commitment is at odds with his fiduciary duty.

[pylua]

I think lawyers have a different meaning for hard core. I mean, it sounds absurd to call your lawyers hard core.

Just to do what he is asking you would need a team like oj had but for each simultaneous case. He should start a law firm next.

[TheAlchemist]

Yep, it's the second case they settle in 2 months.

[MPSimmons]

Must have been just cases then...

[cottsak]

The inference that an out of court settlement instead of trial by jury means an unjust outcome is an oversimplification at best.

[arandomusername]

ouff, this tweet did not age well

[boringg]

Sounds like they must have settled a just case.

[computer23]

Elon Musk says: "My commitment:

- We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win.

- We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose. "

And yet Elon Musk filed harassing lawsuits against his critics Media Matters for America and the Center for Countering Digital Hate.

Musk's SLAPP suits are contrary to his purported love of free speech. They are manifestly unjust.
