Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, receives praise from a Twitter user who shared her gratitude for the survival of her husband in a horrific crash aboard the company's electric vehicle. The user shared photos of the completely wrecked out car and claimed that Tesla's technology and features save lives, a statement that some Twitter users oppose and question.
A woman recently posted a viral photo of a wholly wrecked Tesla Model S that captioned uplifting and good praises for Tesla and CEO Elon Musk for making a vehicle that saves lives. The crash reportedly happened yesterday, not stating the exact place and time, only the wrecked car in a junkyard.
Pam Baker, a Twitter user (@pambaker18), mother, and taxi driver express her and her four children's thanks and gratitude to the CEO for the survival and safety of her husband in what looks like a horrific crash that could have claimed lives.
@elonmusk beyond grateful that you made a car that saved my husband’s life yesterday. My 4 kids and I thank you with all we have. #Tesla pic.twitter.com/nCtv03FOS0 — Pam Baker (@pambaker18) September 17, 2020
Tesla is now back to receiving high praises and recognition for its safety features after a wave of slew and continuous backlash against the electric vehicle for unintended accelerations and horrific accidents.
Wife's Thanks and Twitter's Opposition to Tesla
Pam Baker, the wife of the unidentified man who crashed and survived in Tesla Model S, expresses the family's "beyond grateful" feelings for the vehicle's safety features that helped in the survival of the driver in the crash.
The vehicle had its hood crushed, the driver's side doors removed, and its front left wheel destroyed. The crash looks nasty and dangerous that previous cases report a death or serious injuries instead of survival. Tesla's aim to make its vehicles the safest in the world comes to fruition and example in this horrific crash.
The post gathered 54 thousand likes, 2.6 thousand retweets, and thousands of comments that celebrate with the family. Another user shared fascination over Tesla made vehicles and Baker even commented that the EMTs who responded said that "every penny you spent on this car was worth it because it saved your life."
I would like to add that the EMT literally said “every penny you spent on this car was worth it because it saved your life”. I’m guessing an EMT would have better perspective than most- that’s why I tweeted my gratitude. — Pam Baker (@pambaker18) September 17, 2020
A user shared that even ABS systems, airbag manufacturers, and other components to be thanked apart from Tesla. One user even initiates that Baker should have thanked both Tesla and God for the vehicle's creation.
And we should also thank all the suppliers who have put years of innovations in making ABS systems, air bags, car seats, quality steel, wind shields. Big fan of Tesla but more then 50% safety due to these suppliers and many years of innovation. — Shrinivas Mahale (@ShrinivasMahale) September 17, 2020
Twitter's Opposition to Tesla
With the family showing gratitude and some users supporting the vehicle, several Twitter users show hate and provide criticism to the woman who shared the photos. Several users argue that it should not be Elon Musk to thank, rather the divine creator and entity, God.
Your thanking a mere mortal for saving the life of your family just coz he invented the car do u think that’s what saved your family no God did people get accident only the frightening alone kills them without any major damages to car ma’am ur thanks shud be to God almighty — Gilbs (@ese2bam) September 17, 2020
