Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who was recently awarded the title of person of the year 2021 by TIME magazine, does not fall on the agenda with his actions and statements. The businessman, who has often become the focus of criticism, especially on the safety of electric and autonomous vehicles, has used quite ambitious statements in his statements to the Financial Times recently.
Elon Musk: I think I’m the CEO who cares most about security
As it is known, Tesla started to be questioned about safety due to the Full Self-Driving software it developed and the accidents involving its vehicles. The software in question has been thoroughly studied and tested by many names, such as CNN Business transportation editor Michael Ballaban. However, as a result of the investigations, the common point they all meet is this: FSD is not stable enough.
In addition, a detailed safety investigation was launched against Tesla in recent months by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) due to accidents involving its cars, covering 765,000 cars produced between 2014 and 2021, consisting of Y, X, S and 3 models. When this is the case, all eyes naturally turned to the CEO of the company, Elon Musk.
Musk must have gotten tired of the criticism that he used the following statements in an interview with the Financial Times shortly after receiving the title of Person of the Year:
I don’t think there is a CEO on this planet who cares more about security than I do. Tesla owners are not risking their safety with self-driving assistance software, including autopilot and Full Self-Driving. Because they don’t mislead drivers.
Read the text that appears when you order a Tesla car, read the text that appears when you receive the vehicle and start driving for the first time. Everything is very, very clear.
In addition, using remarkable statements about the space transportation company SpaceX, of which he is the CEO, Musk stated that NASA mostly uses SpaceX-produced rockets when sending it into space, since NASA prioritizes the safety of its astronauts.
Considering his statements, the successful businessman seems to be quite bored with the criticisms about security. So what do you think about this subject? How did you find Elon Musk’s expressions? Do not forget to share your views with us.
