> So both Elon Musk or Trevor Milton are not billionaires? So I am not allowed to say they are billionaires? What wrong with that? It is a fact, not 'some political element'.

You're telling others to stay on point yet your pointing out that Musk and Milton are billionaires is just as much beside the point.



Context:

> Elon Musk is obviously different. [0]

> Con-artists will mimic the people that actually know their shit. [1]

When it comes to how the FSD system works, should I listen to a billionaire CEO or multiple leading experts in the field?

Unfortunately, the influence of any billionaire CEO (especially one with a rare cult of personality) is far more greater than someone who is simply an 'expert' or 'researcher' in their field. I would rather verify the claims of the CEO to check if what they are claiming doesn't conflict with what the experts and researchers are showing.

Otherwise, the customers will trust anything they say and if not done with proper research, well it goes straight back to [1].
