       Musk's Tesla modified contracts with customers -- without the customers' permission -- long after they were signed. How does this differ from outright fraud? https://electrek.co/2026/06/03/tesla-retroactively-modified-fsd-contracts-supervised/

       @dangillmor surely it invalidates the contract (I’m not a lawyer but can’t see how that would stick in an actual case)

       @dangillmor I don't know why any court accepts this "online signed with your mouse" bullshit.

       @dangillmor Same way all the tech companies do, of course: having a clause in the original contract allowing them to unilaterally change it.

       @dangillmor Hate to tell you this, but most contracts signed with a click to agree have clauses that allow the issuer to change terms at anytime.  Banks do this all day long.

       @dangillmor arrogant, criminal behaviour. Contracts require a meeting of the minds (a common understanding of what is being agreed) how could that be possible with the terms changed without your knowledge or agreement. What was sold for $15,000?

       @dangillmor Contract fraud. Clear and simple.

       @dangillmor It's bizarre to me that someone has to "access" the contract online.  Instead of, you know, printing it out on paper and filing it somewhere safe.

       @dangillmor This is why I always keep a printed copy of all contracts, even today.

       @dangillmor If they do change the contract, you must have the legal right to OPT OUT correct? These are the kind of issues we need the CFPB for. Too bad the Dotard Regime destroyed it. ☠️

       @dangillmor @Lazarou Another reason why it is always a good idea to have contracts on actual paper. No fraud can simply change details on a printed contract you have in your bank or at home.
