It seems like a straightforward defamation case for Tesla if the whole thing is fake.


And remotely disabling a vehicle as it is being driven seems like a straightforward lawsuit if this whole thing is true. Who is more likely to make a stupid legal mistake that opens themselves up to a lawsuit, the random musician or the legal department of one of the biggest companies on the planet?


IP lawyers take dubious and aggressive measures to defend their clients without fully considering the implications of their actions all the time.


And remotely disabling a moving vehicle is so commonplace at this company that even the IP lawyers have direct access to that functionality without any oversight? This potential lawsuit is getting easier and easier.


I suspect we'll find out in short order since Tesla can pretty trivially deny that it happened and it's probably going to be picked up by a lot of media.
