Nope, I won't believe you. Even if you ever did write code for medical 
instruments (which I highly doubt) it wasn't anything that could ever be 
considered to AI, especially given that you haven't worked in 20 years.

Two completely unrelated issues

No, a head hunter called you because he saw your resume online.

The head hunter hung on you because he realized you were an asshole that 
lied on your resume.

> But because they put that name on it, they have lost every single case concerning people letting thecar drive itself and causing accidents.

Oh, you mean these lawsuits?:
https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/auto-accident/tesla-autopilot-lawsuit/

"In a verdict returned in April 2023, a jury found that Tesla was not 
responsible for a crash in 2019."

"On September 30, 2023, United States District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, 
Jr. ruled that the proposed class action lawsuit could not proceed."
