Tesla Just Published a New "Master Plan" and Um, How Do We Say This [View all]

Elon Musk's Tesla has revealed its new "master plan" — and it's so chock-full of meaningless corporate buzzwords, we can't help but suspect that it was generated by an AI chatbot.

The so-called "Master Plan Part IV" follows up on Musk's preceding "master plan" installment, which underwhelmed investors back in early 2023 with a vague promise to greatly streamline manufacturing, the consequent release of a cheaper EV, and in-house lithium refinement for batteries.

The embattled company's followup master plan isn't much more confidence-inducing, giving a sense of a lack of vision as Tesla deals with the fallout of plummeting sales, disastrous finances, and an extremely polarizing CEO at the helm.

For starters, the plan was laid out in a carefully-formatted tweet — not a presentation or PDF — on Musk's social media platform X. It's void of virtually any specifics, as Ars Technica points out, reading suspiciously like it may have been assembled by xAI's chatbot Grok.

Maybe but corporate gobbledygook was around before AI. AI has just made producing such easier.
