I don’t care to create an X account to verify this myself, but Newsweek claims it’s fake: https://www.newsweek.com/fake-elon-musk-post-tesla-stop-war-draft-dodgers-viral-11650817.

Yeah, I couldn't find the tweet on his account on nitter at all.

This looks like a fake, deep fried, AI generated slop

But it also kinda seems like something he might say in the future.

Pat_Riot@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 154d

Deep fried, more like half baked.

who would ever use AI for something that can be created in a minute with inspect element

I haven't seen such verbosity in his xheets for years, which adds to the impression that it's fake.

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 154d (2 replies)

And he states that with pride?
If you think you own a Tesla, you are delusional. You are only borrowing it.

I actually thought this was real. Crazy that Musk is so far gone that it could be possible.

mavu@discuss.tchncs.de · 8 pts · 154d (1 reply)

just because he doesn't say it on twatter, it doesn't mean it's not an option :)

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 154d

Oh I'm absolutely sure it's possible, there have been numerous stories where Tesla has disabled cars, sometimes for something as stupid as leaving a bad review on the internet!
Which is why I would never have bought a Tesla, even before it became clear that Musk is an insane Nazi.

kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 154d

Thanks for the heads up. Not that I would ever buy a vehicle that that Nazi moron had any sway over, but maybe some people will stop paying for his personal RC cars as a result

Redvenom@retrolemmy.com · 15 pts · 154d

that's an amazing selling point for Tesla, not just that your apocalypse car can't survive a carwash, but it will snitch on you

Doomsider@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 154d

You will not use my Nazi cars to flee for your life you pathetic pleb. They are my cars after all, to do with what I please.

I am also claiming droit du seigneur on all the wives of husbands that drive Tesla. I will impregnate them with my virile seed to start my army of Elons.

technology shouldn't be used to avoid civic duty.

Like manipulating an election to stay out of prison?

If we reach the point where we need to draft someone that still drives a Tesla, we're already fucked.

kinther@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 154d

I am fairly certain many cars with OnStar can be disabled remotely. Not all of them, but newer ones

MBech@feddit.dk · 9 pts · 154d (1 reply)

By that same logic, Teslas can also not be relied on to flee an invasion by USA. Or flee an oppressive USA that has deposed of your democratically elected government and put a nazi government in power.

When will Teslas stop working for people who are critical of billionaires?

When will Teslas stop working for people who are critical of billionaires?

Why just stop working when instead they can lock all the doors and then initiate thermal meltdown of the battery pack?

Lucky_777@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 154d

Sounds fake, but Elon wouldn't announce this. He would just do it at Trump's bidding.

visch@quokk.au · 4 pts · 154d (1 reply)

Delete this it’s too real.

silicon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 153d

I agree that this should be deleted because it is fake but don't forget for a minute that this is entirely within Tesla's abilities. I don't even know if you can disable the telemetry and remote control/access. I know on some vehicles you can pull certain fuses.

9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 154d

Delete this post, bro

Mulligrubs@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 154d

Hey, let's make a national draft for dollars, and kindly allow Musk to do his civic duty and spread his fortune amongst the rabble

(let's do it especially if this post is fake, because Twitter haha)

That also means if you're persecuted by the government he'll block your tesla if he can. Apparently it's fake, but I'm still gonna advocate for draft dodging.

Draft dodging is a human right. You always have the moral right to not kill. If you think your government will force you into the military and not respect your conscientious objector status, you should have a plan to flee that is not written down and is on foot. Make a laminated card with loved ones' contact info on it (most people should have this anyways) and put it in a go bag with supplies for your journey.

Also, if you don't want to fighr regardless of if you think conscientious objectors will be ignored, begin establishing that status. It's not a "I don't want to fight this fight" thing, it requires a level of establishing. One method is to convert to a religion that mandates nonviolence.

It’s fake but he came to America to avoid his mandatory service in South Africa. He’s become the criminal pedophile welfare queen the right always warned us about

It's great having a crap car. The radio barely works, there ain't no one stopping me.
