Elon Musk: Tesla Full Self Driving Snake Oil Salesman?

Is Tesla’s Elon Musk akin to a snake oil salesman when it comes to promoting Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) efforts? I investigate and discuss the detailed article recently posted on Elon Musk’s X platform by Dan O’Dowd alleging just that: “The Snake Oil Salesman’s Promises for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving AI.”
