In case you missed it last night, Santa Barbara County Judge Colleen Sterne is the first judge to rule that $TSLA's Autopilot marketing is deceptive.
In the United States. That we know of. Since some of these rulings are effectively rendered in secret.
This ruling could open $TSLA to further litigation and/or refunds over...

- All of its $10,000 FSD revenue
- All of its Autopilot revenue
- Many of its customer deposits
- Recognition of autonomous driving revenue

...and jeopardize its status with the CA DMV and other DMVs.

Here is why access to court records matters.

Tonight, we discovered that on March 8, 2021, a Santa Barbara County judge ruled against $TSLA, finding that a plaintiff had sufficiently alleged that its Autopilot marketing was deceptive.

There's no public access to this opinion.
...unless you visit the court in person or know to request it in advance by mail or e-mail. But how could you?

As it happens, we have been pressing the California Courts for months on records on Santa Barbara and Kern Counties. They are stalling.
Meanwhile, as the California Courts blame unspecified technical difficulties (that do not seem to plague Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Stanislaus, Fresno, or other counties that provide electronic access), here are some of the relevant portions of the opinion.

There needs to be a new term for "technologies" like NFTs and central-bank-backed cryptocurrencies—perhaps something like "confusionware." These products are perpetual-motion-machine-type vaporware that exist *purely* based on the confusion of those who read about them.
It is disturbing when they attract the buy-in of mainstream media and government officials. But that is exactly what has been happening.
For example, this article by @macrocredit should be considered a wild joke—the article literally starts with the argument that "everybody's doing it"—but it's actually printed on Bloomberg's masthead. Key question: does Alberto Gallo know what a hash is?

New! California DMV Tesla Robo-Taxi / FSD Notes plainsite.org/documents/28jc… $TSLA
THE DMV IMPROPERLY REDACTED ITS RELEASED DOCUMENTS.

The white text reads: "Elon’s tweet does not match engineering reality per CJ."

CJ Moore, on the call, is $TSLA Director, Autopilot Software.

Or was.
Aside from the implications involving Autopilot, this represents written evidence *from a $TSLA employee* of yet another violation of Elon Musk's 2018 SEC Consent Decree (and likely Tesla's as well).

In which the CEO of $1.5 billion publicly traded company $BLNK admits under oath he could not until recently afford living expenses—after a cascade of well-documented prior pump-and-dump failures. Lucky for him, this one appears to be working so far. plainsite.org/dockets/4hjmyo…
This affidavit references *another* lawsuit that is impossible to find with a normal search because the court clerk included an extra comma in the title.
Stupid clerical errors like this can matter.

The new incredible reporting by @juliacarriew at the @GuardianUS is not getting nearly enough attention. $FB doesn't just have billions of fake accounts—it has fake Pages posing as accounts, per former employee Sophie Zhang. These have been used to influence elections worldwide.
@juliacarriew @GuardianUS Journalists like @mariaressa have had their lives turned upside-down while $FB deliberately sat and watched as its platform destroyed democracy in countries like the Philippines. Only when the United States looked like it might be involved did they start to care.
