Ongoing scrutiny from federal regulators over
‘s Twitter feed and
‘s Autopilot technology appear to have done little to curb the Tesla CEO’s social media id. In the past week alone, Musk tweeted double entendres after a video surfaced of a couple having sex in a Tesla operating in Autopilot mode, made a crude sexual reference to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and once again sparred with Warren Buffett following the investor’s critical remarks about Musk’s plans to offer
for Tesla vehicles.
Musk’s most recent tweets came in reference to a video of a man who picks up a pornographic film actress in his Tesla on a supposed “Tinder date,” and the two end up having sex while the man keeps driving, at times relying only on

The featured image of the Blue Moon capsule appears to have been digitally altered with a crude double entendre about sexual frustration that we won’t embed here, with Musk adding the comment, “Stop teasing, Jeff,” followed by a winking emoticon. Musk is also CEO of SpaceX and has spoken about his own vision of one day sending people to live on Mars.
Finally, on Saturday, Musk reignited his Twitter feud with super-investor Buffett, apparently after the Wall Street titan made critical remarks about Musk’s plans, announced during an earnings conference call last month, to offer
for its own vehicles. At his annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting last weekend in Nebraska,
, Buffett said “The success of the auto companies getting into the insurance business is probably as likely as the success of the insurance companies getting into the auto business.”
