Elon really needs some people in his life who are empowered to reel in his bullshit. This is the kind of stupid bigotry that people never forget.

Actually, getting involved at all was an incredibly risky move. That he was eager to insert tech he had just invented into this sort of situation, is really questionable from a risk management perspective. If we hadn't already seen Tesla and SpaceX do such great jobs of handling risk, his judgment in this episode would be a reason to join the shorters...

Surely good handling of risk includes the response when things go wrong? Tesla has not done well in this regard.

They seem to be doing a better job than Uber? It's a hard problem, and they haven't caused a catastrophe yet...
