Today (July 9th), on the 12th edition of the electronic version of the Legal Daily, internet celebrity "Boss Cai" Cai Jia issued an apology statement to Tesla.
Cai Jia was previously sued by Tesla for infringement of reputation. Tesla stated that Cai Jia has repeatedly made false statements on the internet that defame and smear Tesla, causing a negative impact on the reputation of Tesla's company, products, and employees. According to the effective court ruling, Cai Jia needs to publish a public apology statement in the Legal Daily and compensate Tesla with 400000 yuan. Previously, due to Cai Jia's release of false and untrue information from multiple companies, he has been banned by multiple online platforms.
Cai Jia said in a statement of apology that on December 5, 2022, on the Tiktok platform, he released the video "Telling the experience of netizens" and "It's so numb". In the above two videos, as a professional car critic, he disregarded the kinetic energy recovery function and its principle of electric vehicles, and simply attributed the illumination of electric vehicle brake lights to the driver stepping on the brake, leading to the wrong conclusion of "brake failure", causing serious damage to Tesla's reputation. In addition, it also fabricated the conclusion given by Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. staff that the car owner stepped on the switch 0.2 seconds before the collision, fabricated strange remarks from regional executives who feel numb to the public, and used insulting and negative language such as "ghosts in the heart", "big change (convenience)", "luck", "numbness", "disdain", "unworthiness", "dirtying their eyes", "sadness" to maliciously defame and defame Tesla's reputation. Cai Jia stated that he has recognized his mistakes and deeply reflected on his actions.
In recent years, in addition to internet celebrity "Mr. Cai", several internet celebrities have also been sued by Tesla. "Xiaogang Senior", who once had millions of fans on the internet, was ordered by the court to publicly apologize to Tesla and compensate 120000 yuan for publishing misleading videos.
