    As if he personally has AI and robotics in his pocket, and all the people working for him are vacuous without him.

      I may have some names and details wrong here, but Elon is not the brains of AI.

      He did start Open AI to find some people with the brains.

      Andrej Karpathy was the mastermind of Tesla’s FSD. He left the company after it was clear his developments would get FSD solved with enough data and compute. He’s no longer at Tesla, but it is primarity his work that everything is based on.

      Jim Keller was lead developer of the FSD inferrence chip I think. He also helps develop chips for Apple and Intel. He is not at Tesla.

      Emil Talpes is lead architect of Dojo chip

      Ganesh Venkataramanan is lead architect of Dojo supercomputer system

      What we can credit Elon with is telling folks to make a robo taxi back in 2015 and paying people to do it, but thats about it. Keep in mind he became the richest man in the world for doing this. He doesnt need more compensation at the expense of Tesla and its shareholders.

      If Elon died today Tesla would be just fine. I’d argue even better… A lot of folks I talk to think Teslas are cool cars, but hate Elon’s toxic personality and fear his attacks on free speech. They don’t want to support such a maniacal weirdo.
