It turns out Tesla has a PR department after all.

Tesla's principle is to lie routinely.

Tesla lies continuously about full self-driving: https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/

Tesla stages full self-driving videos: https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-video-promoting-sel...

Tesla lies about things as dumb as quarter mile runs: https://insideevs.com/news/699260/tesla-cybertruck-porsche-r...

When lying is so much a part of the company culture, a post to Twitter which essentially says "Trust us, bro" is not very compelling.

I saw news of the Tesla tweet and thought of you. It's sad seeing your copy-and-paste reply sitting all alone here, so I'm replying to cheer you up. Go on, tell me more about how bad Elon is.

Strange. I didn't think about you at all.

> tell me more about how bad Elon is.

Okay.

Musk is an attention seeking narcissist, a serial liar, and a deadbeat.

He's a grub.
