Two replies from Elon Musk to our articles
In 2023, Eva Fox, who was writing for Tesla Mag at the time, shared two of our articles on X. Elon Musk replied from his own account.
Our article “Tesla to Conduct Third-Party Audit of its Battery Material Suppliers”, on Tesla’s decision to have its battery supply chain audited.
“And I will review the audit personally. If you drive a Tesla, you should be able to believe in it to your core.”
A quote from Elon Musk on the risks of artificial intelligence, taken from our article: “At least when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there would be no death.”
