    It seems like the big distinction is going to be between "they didn't tell investors that they were a huge climate change contributor" and "they didn't tell investors how much mone…

    It was definitely for the banking trojan he created and sold, that would later become Kronos. That said, he also became sort of a public figure in the field due to stopping the ini…

    I mean that's a perfect choice as long as your marketing strategy isn't to hope that people pay extra for the feature thinking that it's FSD. The fact that Tesla still hasn't done …

    Oh, if that's the case, then the reporters were just wrong about how the software worked. If it only required the read access, then that would be a legitimate vulnerability.
