Just read: "The sheriff said Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped the investigation by ... and giving investigators video of the suspect at charging stations along its route from Colorado to Las Vegas." And I have questions and concerns.

So ... were there any checks and balances involved? Or can Elon Musk just grab any current or past footage from the built-in cameras of any Tesla ... just like whenever he feels like it? Is there a paper trail? Is there any oversight whatsoever?

Is there any actual process at Tesla for this kind of thing? Do they need a warrant? Or is the process for pulling footage "when Elon personally asks for it?" Because that's a bad process.

Is the standard for when it's okay to pull and share video "when Elon thinks it's a good idea?" Because that's a bad standard.

The CEO of a large corporation should actually not be directly involved in these sorts of processes.
