I wasn’t sure if this really fit one of our other related threads or if it was its own issue.
I’ve also heard of businesses trying to take legal action against bad (but not malicious) yelp reviews before. Both seem crazy to me, unless someone is truly misrepresenting or spreading demonstrably false info.
Tesla is not alone.
UnitedHealth hires law firm to target people criticizing the company
UnitedHealth Is Sick of Everyone Complaining About Its Claim Denials
UnitedHealth appears eager to make a similar example of Elisabeth Potter, an Austin, Texas, plastic surgeon, and is accusing the doctor of “using her social media following to perpetuate inaccuracies, which is irresponsible, unethical, and dangerous.” On Jan. 7, Potter posted a video on Instagram sharing her frustration with the U.S. insurance system, explaining in a text caption that during a procedure, “I was interrupted by a call from United Healthcare — while the patient was already asleep on the operating table. They demanded information about her diagnosis and inpatient stay justification. I had to scrub out mid-surgery to call United, only to find that the person on the line didn’t even have access to the patient’s full medical information, despite the procedure already being pre-approved.
Doesn’t seem like good company.
I think we are entering dangerous times with regard to companies going after individuals for sharing their experience or opinion about a product or brand.
Can Yelp be held liable for hosting a negative review?
Who will Tesla sue* for this?
*Weird. I originally wrote ‘sue’ but it autocorrected to ‘die’.
SLAPP suits are another tool in the Devil’s toolbox. The law should be any company that files a SLAPP lawsuit, there entire legal department, CEO, and board should be publicly caned Singapore style.
They don’t care about losing money, but public pain and humiliation would send a great message.
Also seems like a great time to post this for the original King of these lawsuits. I hope he’s looking up as I post this
That 4x crashing report is really shocking.
I’m sure lots of those were probably slight bumps in parking , or the Tesla being stopped(hopefully legally) and being hit. But not all of them.
There is such a rush to dominate this emerging service, I’m not sure adequate oversight by the government is taking place.
And that applies to all these- waymo, tesla, etc.
I don’t think there’s any oversight, really. If there is, it’s been relaxed to the point of being useless.
The oversight generally seems to be reactive and not proactive, in my opinion. With things like vehicle safety, I think it should be more proactive. That goes for EV & ICE vehicles from every manufacturer. The current administration is absolutely on the side of less regulation (though in some areas they are still flexing the regulatory muscles in new ways) which in theory sounds great. In actuality, we really need a more nuanced approach. Not everything needs or should have less regulation.
He bad Musk. He bad.
Good old Gizmodo, now compare the accident rate to taxi/uber drivers,
He is a bad person, but that’s not really the same thing.
Just like Henry Ford being a bad person doesn’t diminish his innovations or business accomplishments. Elon’s the same way. Bad person, doesn’t take away from things he and his companies have done
The haters can’t control themselves.
None of these articles would have come out just a few years ago. We all know why they are coming now.

Guessing you’ve got a problem with Electrek too…
And one more for you Norbert. Edge cases seem to be the bane of all these
AV.
That’s probably not true, but if it was, who put the spotlight on himself, and his businesses by doing what he’s doing?
Only one person. He should take responsibility for ALL of his actions. He’s the only one behaving the way he is.
Or do you not believe in personal responsibility?
That’s laughable. Elon got plenty of bad (and good) press over the last 15 years. It isn’t a recent phenomenon.
He has, first from the right now from the left, and I"ve been calling both out. Its funny to see how its swung.
I’m sure he appreciates your service
Should tell you something about him.
I’m sure he’s a great dad.
Yeah, everyone doesn’t see the world through partisan lenses like some.
