BREAKING: Germany confirmed the EU will discuss Tesla FSD approval in October. State Secretary Christian Hirte wrote to a German MP that "a possible EU-wide recognition of the exemption is expected to be discussed in October 2026 in the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles." Germany's motor authority is evaluating the Dutch RDW exemption and is in talks with RDW and Tesla over the speed-limit issue. The letter noted the system can feel like autonomous driving while "responsibility for vehicle control remains fully with the driver." Full English translation: "The Federal Government is aware that the Dutch approval authority RDW has issued an exemption for the Tesla system 'Full Self-Driving (Supervised).' The documents are currently being evaluated by the Federal Motor Transport Authority. The Federal Motor Transport Authority is also in exchange with RDW and Tesla to clarify Germany's position on the system-induced exceeding of permitted maximum speeds. When using the system, the impression of autonomous driving may arise, although responsibility for vehicle control remains fully with the driver. A possible EU-wide recognition of the exemption is expected to be discussed in October 2026 in the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles."

NEWS: X sued a group it says faked engagement to take more than 200,000 pounds from creators. X filed in the High Court in London against Vivek Kumar Sen and Zamyang Sherpa and others behind a network of crypto accounts. The complaint says they liked and reposted each other and posted near copy paste content within seconds to fake real engagement, then cashed out through Creator Revenue Sharing. It says they hid behind a web of Stripe and bank accounts under false names so the money kept flowing even if one account got caught. X also says the ring tried to grow by selling engagement manipulation as a service to other people and buying up more high follower accounts. X suspended the accounts in August and says the group pulled in over 207,000 pounds it was never owed. It is now going to court to claw that money back. James Burnham (@BurnhamDC), X General Counsel: "We do not tolerate fraudulent behavior on X -- and will act forcefully to protect our platform and the earnings of genuine creators."
