Here is Musk’s Tweet.
What can possibly go wrong with drivers searching for eggs on a touch screen while driving in a car with questionable brakes and horrible self-driving performance?
I cannot come up with anything except perhaps this: Bad Brakes and Yet Another “Thrilling” Death
Is this some sort of media game Musk is playing or is he seriously deranged?

I’ll never buy a Tesla and try to keep a safe distance from any I see on the road.
Rengaw – Thanks for the question. My general thought is there is little you can do. He needs to learn from his own mistakes. Assuming he made one. It is not 100% certain that Tesla fails. It is not certain that gold wins. The curious point is that getting lucky and winning may be the worst outcome. It leads to extreme overconfidence.
@Mish I have a question for you and was hoping that you could give me a good answer. My grandson who is millennial has this strange obsession with Musk and I think he has invested all his hard earned money in one of Musks companies,,, I think it is Tesla, but could be one of the other companies too. I think tesla was capable to make those cars only because they bought GM factory. But the Musk as CEO is crazy and I dont believe in anything he says. So I told my grandson that he should rather invest in gold, but he is reluctant to do so because his stock broker does not allow to trade gold. Can you suggest an easy way I could convince my grandson to somehow invest in gold? He is too lazy and I think would not trade anything unless he can trade it from phone.
Tesla-assisted suicide
Honestly, if someone made me God and told me that I could do anything I wanted to fix this country, I wouldn’t have the first idea what to do. With the possible exception of requiring people to have better manners and to be kinder to each other.
I appreciate the comment but if anyone can fix Tesla, I have to be honest: It sure ain’t me.
How about we start campaign “Mish for Tesla’s CEO!” He will fix all this nonsense!
Who wants easter eggs in their car software? More evidence that Tesla caters to middle-aged children.
Well I’m certain that every product liability lawyer in America is archiving all of Elon’s brilliant, if not less than well considered, ideas.
I completely agree with you Mish. This is just plain stupid. I don’t even get why they need that big screen in the car. Car is for driving not playing some video games.
This is extremely dangerous. I know the difficulties of driving into a rainstorm in a rental car with wiper & light controls different from my personal vehicle. I believe that texting and talking on a cellphone handset while driving is illegal in most states. TESLA has enough problems on their hands without adding to the current mess. Cancel the egg-hunt.
