they have to invent some term analogous for irony poisoning where you're so deep in tech that you treat physical engineering and safety issues the same way you would treat system availability

elong must is just trying to save lives with his computer cars. he needs to save 60¢ per car to achieve this, so who cares if he singes a few babies that should be have carried spare 12V batteries?

yeah but if you fail to solve the puzzles in an escape room they still let you leave, so it's somewhat deceptive advertising

don’t forget that you’ll need to remove the car seat to fold down the rear seats carrying one of those auto glass hammers/strap cutters is probably a better option unless Elon didn’t like the aesthetics of safety glass lol
