She died on a Texas ranch last month after her car went into a pond and became submerged in water for an extended period of time
Even by recent standards, this is a really weird news story. It manages to involve: Mitch McConnell, a billionaire relative, Teslas, and a Texas pond.
Angela Chao, a shipping industry CEO and sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, died on a Texas ranch last month after her car went into a pond and became submerged in water for an extended period of time, The Wall Street Journal reported. Chao, 50, died Feb. 11 in the Texas Hill Country. A family statement at the time did not disclose details about her death and authorities in Blanco County have not released additional information, citing an ongoing investigation. The Wall Street Journal, citing a fire department incident report, said rescue workers needed a dive team upon arriving at the scene but none was available. One emergency unit arrived at 12:28 a.m., about 24 minutes after getting a call. Deputies requested devices to break the window of the vehicle, a Tesla, and an emergency services worker and firefighter entered the water with rescue tools. ' Chao was found unresponsive after the car was pulled from the water, Blanco County emergency services chief Ben Oakley said. She was pulled from the vehicle and attempts were made to resuscitate her, the Journal reported. Chao was the chair and CEO of her family’s shipping business, the Foremost Group, and the president of her father’s philanthropic organization, the Foremost Foundation.
Maybe Elon Musk should spend more time attending to actual business rather than plotting world domination.

The state of mind of Elon Musk is a matter for speculation.

Maybe Elon was simply drunk with power at that meeting like some James Bond villain.
It would be disappointing if the survivors of Angela Chao did not file a lawsuit against Tesla asking for an amount large enough to make Elon Musk squeal like a pig.
