Does Tesla do a lot of OSS work? I would say that Apple, over the years, has contributed a substantial amount of work to the public domain (from swift to cups, etc). Definitely more than Microsoft (until recently, perhaps).
github.com/teslamotors and github.com/spacex aren’t too active, it seems. OpenAI seems active, but I haven’t followed it closely.
Chris has said that he’ll continue to work on Swift (and I assume all the other open-source projects that he has contributed to at Apple). That on its own is enough to take up all the time he has to work on open-source code.
I’m no expert in the area but is it smart to put a “compiler guy” in charge of software that will literally be life-and-death for hundreds of millions of people?
Considering they also have Jim Keller, (who designed late Alpha, early Athlon, Zen, and Apple ARM cores) I’m inclined to believe its a chip they’re developing, maybe for neural networks?
Though I would counter that with the fact that “life-and-death” software is compiled by a compiler, which must be equally trusted. I wouldn’t be surprised if your safety has depended on clang/llvm in the past.

Well if anything we know who isn’t doing OSS work, while at work
