Is the Elon post true? Is the CEO of a public company promising to make you whole in a public forum a binding statement? probably not.

Slightly off topic, but I found this particular sentence interesting: > This is software that isn’t ready for prime time, hasn’t been fully cooked, and is operating in a country that’s too corrupt to pass meaningful modern privacy laws or to regulate data brokers. Something about the way this is worded, whether intentional or not, really drives home the reality of the US’ diminished standing as a trusted global partner. Like, we’re simply not taken seriously anymore. And it’s not just because of corruption - the corruption is there because of deep-seated political ignorance.

The scary thing is the agent that could read the bank account information and the agent that posted the information were separate agents.
