Angela Chao, the shipping company CEO and sister-in-law of outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, was intoxicated when she drove her Tesla into a lake at a Texas ranch in a fatal crash last month, according to the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office.
That's right CEOs please get behind the wheel drunk and back your Tesla into a retaining pond.

In 2009 she married a billionaire. He died a few months later. And then in 2012 she married another billionaire.
Personal life
Chao married Bruce Wasserstein in January 2009, just months before his death in October of that year. She married Jim Breyer in 2012.
Also - as her car was sinking - she was on the phone to her friend for eight minutes.
Death
On the evening of February 10, 2024, Chao was celebrating the Lunar New Year with friends at her Johnson City ranch. As her guests began going home, she got into her Tesla Model X and accidentally backed into a pond. The car began sinking. Unable to open her door or to break the glass, the car filled with water. Chao was on the phone for eight minutes as the car sank, from around 11:42 to 11:50 p.m., telling her friend she was going to die. Onlookers called 911 and attempted to help.
Blanco County emergency personnel arrived around midnight and tried to enter the car. A deputy broke the driver’s door window and went underwater where he found Chao and dragged her to shore. EMS workers were unable to revive her, and she was pronounced dead at 1:40 a.m. on February 11; she was 50 years old. A March 2024 police investigation concluded that Chao's blood alcohol level was three times above the legal limit, and that her death was the result of an accident.
Bruh 8 minutes with bystanders and nobody could break a god damn window? Go get a hammer for fuck's sake.
Tempered glass doesn’t break easily which is why it’s useful to have those special pointed hammers for breaking windows in the car.
I know that but any nearby house would have a forked hammer surely. Go smash down doors. All social rules disappear when a life or death emergency exists fuck everything else, you go and bash someone's door down and scream what you need at them. If you can't swing that thing under water properly place the sharp point on the surface and kick it.
I don't understand how people can lack action in an emergency like this. Half these bystanders probably stood around watching instead of trying to do something.
Maybe they realized she deserved to die that way
Mashallah.
Who are the bystanders to oppose an act of God?
Also the cybertruck has some sort of bulletproof glass or some shit. Wonder why other cars might not want that...
They didn't end up following on with that hype, just normal windows from what I've heard now.
You really expect them to get their formal suits wet?! Disgusting!
I would not go to the trouble of lifting a finger to save a drowning billionaire, much less get my clothes wet for one.
I’d piss in the pond
Live your life in a way such that when you crash your bazingamobile into a pond people around you will actually want to save you.
Step 1: Do not buy a bazingamobile.
