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".

Quite a few people at the event asked employees about this and were directly given the answer. It wasn't a secret.

The fact that the fraud was lazy and blatant makes it worse, not better.

Less lazy than a dancer in a skin tight robot suit. Progress!
