Briefly

Tesla shareholders have initiated a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk, citing securities fraud due to hidden risks associated with the company's robotaxi program. Concerns include alarming instances of erratic vehicle behavior and Musk's exclusive reliance on visual cameras for autonomous driving, which critics argue jeopardizes passenger safety. Shareholders assert Musk has exaggerated the technology's effectiveness, thereby inflating the stock price. Facing skepticism, Musk altered previous claims about robotaxi deployment timelines, suggesting full autonomy for millions of vehicles may not materialize until late 2026. A recent ruling also mandates Tesla to pay damages related to its Autopilot software.
