According to the trial, moments after the collision snapshot was uploaded to Tesla’s servers, the local copy on the car was marked for deletion. Then, “someone at Tesla probably took ‘affirmative action to delete’ the copy of the data on the company’s central database,” according to the Post.
Tesla only acknowledged that it had received the data once the police took the Tesla’s damaged infotainment system and autopilot control unit to a Tesla technician to diagnose, but at that time the local collision snapshot was considered unrecoverable.
That’s where the hacker, only identified as @greentheonly, his username on X, came in. Greentheonly told The Washington Post that, “for any reasonable person, it was obvious the data was there.”
During the trial, Tesla told the court that it hadn’t hidden the data, but lost it. The company’s lawyer told the Post that Tesla’s data handling practices were “clumsy” and that another search turned up the data, after acknowledging that @greentheonly had retrieved the snapshot locally from the car.
Fuck Elon and Fuck Tesla. May they both rest in piss.

They should be forced to, in a surprise recorded setting, walk through just how things get “lost” or “misplaced” in their internal systems.
People making up bullshit about computer systems shouldn’t be a scape goat anymore. It’s 2025. There are enough people in the world now who know better.
Their internal emails need to be seized and reviewed by the legal team. I’m sure they’ll find internal processes that dictate deleting data that makes them look bad.
Greentheonly also has a reddit account and was commenting on this article over there. I’m incredibly surprised that he hasn’t been permbanned yet. That’s usually what happens.
Reddit full on capitulates to facism. I got banned for posting the absent genitalia of a ken doll with the caption, “results of Elon’s botched penis procedure,” in the funny forum.

In fascism friends help friends, until they stab them in the back, if it will help them get ahead.

You can really tell he’s a hacker because of the hoodie.

You see html. Hacker just sees a lady in a red dress getting run over by a Tesla
