WeWork says will file to withdraw IPO

The CEO of SpaceX did commit a couple crimes in the same podcast.

Uber's autonomous car fatally collided with a woman, raising questions of negligence and liability in automation.

Uber acquired some of Alphabet/Waymo's trade secrets when they aqui-hired one of their former engineers who apparently kept a bunch of Waymo's IP he worked on. That engineer himself is now facing a federal indictment, and Uber and Waymo have settled.

E-scooters are facilitating a number of city-specific crimes (it's usually illegal to operate a vehicle, bike, or skate on a city sidewalk and the e-scooters do not provide helmets but neither do the riders). To say nothing of the legally dubious use of public property to deploy them.

Move fast and break stuff indeed.

I guess I'm not sure what Musk smoking pot on Joe Rogan has to do with SpaceX's unquestionable success in a market dominated practically since its inception by pork-armored incumbents.

If anything, I'd expect it to work against them.

What was/were the other crime(s)?

What crimes did the CEO of Spacex commit on the "podcast"?

Riding without a helmet and similar stuff is likely just a contravention in most places.

Are you talking about the Joe Rogan podcast? It's recorded/filmed from California, where marijuana is legal recreationaly, and had been at the time of the original broadcast.
