“That’s why I bought my wife a Tesla. A little more than some sedans but it’s saved the difference in gas savings and the car is the safest I could get!” a user wrote under the video.

Mr Musk’s reaction came after a recent crash in Orange County, California, where a Tesla driver was reportedly speeding and crashed, causing the vehicle to flip into oncoming traffic, reported KTLA News.

Three people, including the Tesla driver, were hospitalised; their conditions were not immediately available.

Witnesses said the Tesla driver was driving at an estimated over 100 miles per hour. The crash involved six vehicles, with two overturning and trapping people inside. First responders extricated the victims, including the Tesla driver, and rushed them to the hospital.

An eye witness, who was waiting at a red light, recalled the car approaching at “over 100 miles” per hour.

“She smacked the cars right next to me. I don’t know how she missed me,” the witness said, stressing that the Tesla driver caused the crash.

A worker heard the tyres screech and saw the crash unfold. Recounting the “scary” experience, he said, “Cars are flipping over right outside the window, and it takes you a little bit out of reality.”

Police are investigating the cause of the crash, saying it was possible that alcohol or drugs could also be involved.
