The Griftoboros: Elon’s Self-Dealing Empire Is Eating Itself

Tesla's Robotaxi Launch Flop Highlights That Tech Companies Don't Care How Much Silver They Waste
Tesla’s robotaxi “revolution” looks more like a silver-guzzling beta test with crash-prone AI and fake autonomy. Phantom brakes, wrong-way turns, and wasted resources define this rollout. How much silver are we burning for a PR stunt? The future’s in beta—and your wallet’s on fire.
