Last week a video appeared on Pornhub featuring adult film star Taylor Jackson and her boyfriend having sex while their Tesla Model X was on autopilot. Soon after, this marvel of technology was not only driving itself, it was driving millions of people to search “Tesla” on Pornhub.
On May 9th, Tesla CEO Elon musk responded by tweeting “Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined”. “Shoulda seen it coming”. While Elon’s tweets usually just cause stock prices to fluctuate, he also managed to drive up searches on Pornhub.
Projecting results for May 10th (as of 3pm ET), our statisticians recorded over 3 million Tesla related searches since the video was first uploaded.
