Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a "utopian socialist." He lies about being a "free speech absolutist." He lies about which companies he founded:

@AuntyAlias @pluralistic Ok, spot the problem:
Korea's regulator ruled that Tesla lied about the range of all EVs it sold.
And fined a multi-billion company “millions”.
That's like fining a normal working stiff $10 or so.
I'm convinced that Tesla was very irritated, Especially as somebody had to figure out where to wire the “fine”.
Sorry, if your fines are more like cuddling the miscreant, don't expect them to stop.
