Tesla allegedly concealed 'thousands' of autonomous driving incidents including fatalities (2026-04-20, safety tag). Safety tag at 24-source convergence — broadest of any topic. War tag accelerating with anti-AI violence pattern. The concealment angle (not just incidents, but HIDDEN incidents) transforms this from a safety story into a regulatory fraud story. NHTSA has historically moved within 90 days of major concealment revelations (airbag scandal precedent). Same week as Atlassian dark-pattern data collection — trust erosion is the meta-narrative.
