‘Tesla isn’t close to safely delivering self-driving vehicles at scale.’

That’s the conclusion from a Reuters investigation that includes a hard look at Tesla’s statistical methodology and interviews with company insiders. Tesla workers routinely review video clips from FSD-enabled vehicles of animal deaths or narrow misses with children. And there’s a lot of speeding:

One employee said labelers saw Teslas regularly exceeding speed limits by 20 to 30 miles per hour after the automaker introduced an FSD “Mad Max” mode enabling more-aggressive driving. Another labeler reported seeing an FSD-piloted vehicle traveling 60 mph in a 25-mph zone.

The White House is UFOposting.

After teasing some kind of alien-related disclosure, the White House rolled out… a map of ICE arrests touting 3.1 million encounters. It’s the same great replacement talking points as always — they’re being imported, elites facilitated the “invasion,” etc. etc. — with some X-Files-esque music playing in the background. And the numbers aren’t even right. I can only imagine the glee with which some groyper vibecoded this.
