In a reply to a post on X, Elon Musk said the circumstances of the crash meant that FSD could not have been in use at the time. "Yes, this makes no sense. FSD drives slowly through neighborhood streets and this was a high speed crash!" he wrote.

I mean, in a world where FSD is infallible, that makes sense. But we know it's not. And he knows it's not.

Also "could not have been in use at the time" and "only drives slowly" are contradictory. Not sure if that's just an inaccurate paraphrasing of the post by the author.

Seems pretty simple. Tesla needs to produce the “collision snapshot,” captured by the car’s cameras and assorted sensors before and during the crash. Such data is automatically uploaded to Tesla's servers after a crash. At least that was the story the last time when a hacker managed to recover the data, which had somehow been deleted, from the car as well as Tesla's servers after a fatal collision in Miami last year .

It couldn't've been in use, because if it had been in use, the vehicle's speed would've been lower. Is what Elon Musk is claiming.
