How is stuff like this not considered fraud? This seems much worse to me than Musk's usual Tesla lies in which he is predicting some future capability. At least there is an argument that Musk believed it those at the time he said them or that they were optimistically possible despite being impractical. This seems to be material misrepresentation of the viability of one of the company's core R&D projects that Musk claims "will be the biggest product ever".

Nikola (Trevor Milton) was busted for fraud for insinuating that trucks rolling down slopes were working models.

Tesla (Elon Musk) is under investigation for fraud for insinuating robotaxies are just around the corner, and you should buy the already available hardware for 100k that'll yield you 30k/year in the near future. When it became public knowledge, more value was written off Tesla stock than Enron, Theranos and Nikola combined.
