    I am not a musk fan but jeezus pleezus…If I bought a Henkel’s chef knife and killed someone would the headline be “Henkel Killed Someone”? We need to rid ourselves of big media and bring independent journalism back. The ones who value facts and try to get as close to the truth as possible, not the “hate clicks for money” cabals.

      If the knife was sold to you with the knowledge that you were going to commit murder, the person who sold it to you could be up for a felony murder charge, or as an accessory.

      There’s also product liability law. Meaning that if a company sells or proliferates a product without proper safety protocols in place and it causes harm that can be foreseen, they are liable.
