Elon Musk, who’s had federal regulators scrutinizing his Twitter feed and Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot technology, invited fresh attention to both by making light of a pornographic video filmed inside one of the company’s cars.

The chief executive officer sent a series of tweets loaded with double entendre Thursday after a video surfaced this week of two people having sex in a Tesla operating on Autopilot. “Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined,” Musk wroteBloomberg Terminal in his initial post. His followers replied with jokes of their own.
