Have you tried the latest version of FSD. I recently got a Tesla with it and it is about at the level of someone who has been driving for a few months. Has made one or two non-accident mistakes over the last few months but nothing serious. Sort of a dangerous uncanny valley I have to be careful of and not just forget I need to pay attention still (it tracks your eyes to make sure you look at the road most of the time but you can still zone out if you are not careful).
The proof will be robotaxis in Austin this June. I hope to be able to send my Tesla out to be an Uber to earn money when I sleep sometime late this year or next. Time will tell but we do have re-usable first stages and Starlink already and it is pretty great.
Maybe Musk has no interest in getting humans to Mars, but if this con man builds a rocket that gets cost to orbit in the $10/kg, con me some more please.

Most cons would be great opportunities if they followed through, the problem is the "having no realistic path to following through" part
I think a lot of people just approaching this topic from largely ignorance are unaware of how hardcore Falcon 9 has actually delivered on its promises, in spite of being mocked by its competitors.
Starship is already well on its way to succeeding, in the big picture
