If you've been wondering why Elon Musk's Twitter suddenly seems full of gifs showing various TV characters with their heads on fire, it's all about another of Musk's companies: Neuralink. The news that Neuralink has been given the green light in the US to begin human tests of its brain/computer interface resulted in a predictable but still funny flood of memes riffing on another Musk-related topic, Teslas' supposed propensity for bursting into flames.
It's amusing but it coincided with something more serious: a huge leak of internal Tesla documents detailing tons of customer complaints about terrifying faults in Tesla cars including random acceleration and unexpected hard braking. The leak, to German-language newspaper Handelsblatt, covers complaints running from 2015 to 2022 and looks pretty damning.
