"Are civil engineers violating their code of ethics?"

"Open a dialogue about potential tensions between traditional engineering priorities like traffic flow and speed vs. ethical obligations to prioritize pedestrian safety.

Confront engineers about how the outcome of their work violates the code of ethics they’ve sworn to uphold, and interview attorneys about the possibility of lawsuits."

So you're suggesting criticizing the employees who are paid a salary if they do what the CEO asks them to do, or else they get fired (as with Twitter employees). Does Tesla get a lot of turnover, similar to how AI researchers left Google for ethical disagreements? NBC isn't entirely wrong for criticizing the CEO- he is the architect, if that's your premise.
