You claim that people hate Musk because of jealousy and/or politics. I don’t see any evidence of that. What I see is people being unwilling to entrust their lives to someone with a recent history of incredibly childish and questionable behavior. He shitposts on Twitter all day and runs his companies like a pig-headed 19th century baron. I don’t detect an iota of leadership in the man anymore: only ego.

Why would functional FSD emerge from a company with a toxic culture like Tesla’s? Any self-respecting engineer with advanced skills will jump ship at the first opportunity.

You're conceding that you're more preoccupied with his tweets (i.e., his politics) than his actual achievements, which perfectly supports my point. Thousands of highly skilled engineers continue working at his companies, and they aren’t "jumping ship." It’s not incompetent engineers that are behind innovations like FSD 12, Cybertruck, Falcon 9, Starship, Raptor 3, and so on. These are complex, cutting-edge technologies—stupid engineers don't create them.
