How Elon Musk caught the rat leaking company information


I believe it's incredibly fantastic that Elon Musk said he was able to catch an employee in 2008 who was leaking corporate information to the public with a simple approach.

In a series of tweets, Mr. Musk explained to his fans how he actually discovered the informant.

When the plan was in place, the business sent its regular emails to the employees while also including codes in every message.

There was no way anyone could detect that the emails were different, even though they all appeared to be the same.

The clever move was straightforward; each email contained one or two spaces between words, creating a binary signature that revealed the identity of the leaker.

A genius move by all standards!

Here is how good the Tesla FSD really is.

I can state that since the introduction of the first full self-driving and up to the most current versions that we have now, there have been enormous advancements. When the FSD was first presented, a number of industry professionals expressed worries about the FSD's potential risk to other road users since they didn't think the technology could be that advanced. Today's technology has shown to be both safer and more capable than the majority of human drivers. I appreciate how quickly Tesla has responded to many of the issues raised. For instance, the most recent update mandates that the driver occasionally touch the steering wheel to confirm that he is paying attention and not dozing off while driving, as we've seen many drivers do on internet videos.  The car will also automatically stop if it senses that the driver is not paying attention to the road. I have no doubt that it's only a matter of time before we see even more remarkable advancements that will establis...

Reasons why Tesla is the safest vehicle ever manufactured

In truth, Teslas are among the safest cars ever produced. Elon Musk also said this at the most recent shareholder meeting. Their vehicles have repeatedly shown to be extremely safe when put to the test. OK, these are the numbers; The Model Y passed the most recent and rigorous safety test administered by Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) with a score of roughly 92%, beating out the closest competitor's 82%. When the model 3 was also subjected to a frontal offset test, it performed exceptionally well. During this test, which was also conducted by Euro NCAP, the lack of an engine in the front region of the car let the vehicle's crumple zone absorb all the impact during a collision, leaving the occupants unharmed. When further tests like those for the vehicle's roof strength, head restraints, and autonomous driving assistance systems were conducted, the model 3 once again got top overall scores. In a rollover test, the Model X stunned many engineers since it did ...

What I love about Tesla's new FSD update

Elon Musk never misses an opportunity to compliment the Tesla FSD team; in my opinion, they are actually doing an excellent job. I'm impressed by how they've evolved and improved over time. I had an experience when using the Full Self Driving mode one day, and it left me speechless. I was on my way to work one morning using the FSD, and I came across a situation where there were cars parked on both sides of the road, and the space between them was very little. My initial assumption was that the car wouldn't be able to get out of that spot, but to my astonishment, it did, and it did it flawlessly. As it passed through, the car folded its side mirrors with ease. As discussed here, the Full Self-Driving mode on Tesla vehicles is truly revolutionary. Most human drivers would have found this extremely challenging and would have needed the assistance of pedestrians to help guide them. Indeed, Tesla is doing amazing work that is enviable to all other automakers.
