Pornhub has been getting an exceptionally large amount of hits these days. The reason?
Elon Musk.
After a video was released of a couple having sex in a Tesla, traffic on the site has surged. The video features the two in a Tesla on autopilot, driving down a street.
This very specific kink caught the attention of Elon Musk himself, who tweeted about the video in jest.
Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined

This was followed by a second tweet, in which Musk makes a cringey pun at the video’s expense.
Shoulda seen it coming …

Between the adult video’s upload on April 30th and May 10th, the word “Tesla” gained three million searches on the site, thanks to Musk’s tweets.
The porn itself, was posted by the woman in the video, claiming that the person she is having sex with was a Tinder date. They filmed it while driving on Autopilot in a Tesla Model X.
Who knows what “drove” them to do it, but it’s certainly doing favors for Pornhub.
You can laugh about it, but first AutoPilot porn is a cultural turning point.
“Tesla’s drive themselves”
This idea is seeping into the public consciousness in all kinds of ways.

That’s one (new) way to get exposure.
