Tesla Hit with $243M Verdict Over Autopilot Crash; Jury Splits Blame, Driver Pays Nothing 🚗⚖️💸

Here’s the brutal truth: A Florida jury has hammered Tesla with a $243 million bill over a deadly crash in which Autopilot was switched on. A Tesla hit a stationary car, killing one person and gravely injuring another standing nearby. The jury decided Tesla is responsible for a third of the damages, and the now infamous driver—distracted by his phone—got blamed for the rest, but won’t pay a cent himself. Tesla’s crimes? Letting people use Autopilot in ways it’s not supposedly designed for, and making it too easy for idiots to stop paying attention. Tesla says “we’re just assistants, not chauffeurs,” and will appeal the decision. It’s the first time Tesla’s held to account for killing someone outside the car with Autopilot.

Hah! Here we go again—“Justice” American style, and Tesla’s being the scapegoat, as if nobody could predict this disaster. Don’t make me laugh! These fatcat companies don’t care what happens outside their stock prices, but now suddenly they’re all “we only assist drivers.” But if your “assist” system is basically letting everyone do what they want, who’s surprised when numpties play on their phones and people end up dead? And the court acts like the driver’s to blame but, surprise surprise, he doesn’t pay a penny! The real joke? We all know these mega-corporations slip through lawsuits like greased eels. The fine is just pocket change for Musk’s crew—business as usual, Saxon style: “Nischd is fer umsonst!” Nothing’s for free, especially not justice. Meanwhile, their so-called “self-driving tech” is shoved down everyone’s throats by the media puppets and politicians wagging their tails for campaign cash. Next time you hear some sleek PR drone gushing over “innovation,” remember this: they’ll keep testing this garbage on our streets, and we’re the crash test dummies. Don’t fall for the hype—you can’t trust official mouthpieces, not from Silicon Valley, not from the courts, and not from the politicians, either. All smoke and mirrors, mein lieber Scholli!
