This is a great example of the sort of thing that would be hilariously revealing if lying suddenly became literally impossible.

Imagine Musk calling up lawmakers and saying, "Listen - my cars are too shitty to meet your standards and I'm too greedy and distracted to commit to the necessary time and expense to sctually make them good, so could you maybe lower your standards so I can rush my people to slap together something shitty, snd then we'll just lie about it, mmkay?"

"Oh yeah - and I'll probably need you to step in and "negotiate a settlement" over the inevitable class action suit. I'll get back to you on that."
