Ardent Musk critics look at FSD, see a scam, and conclude that Musk is a scammer and everything he does is a scam.

Ardent Musk fanboys look at the rockets, see them actually work, and conclude that Musk is legit in everything he does.

Personally I think Musk's ventures are a mix of scam and legitimate. His rockets are real, but I don't believe for a minute they'll ever send a colony to Mars. His cars are real, but anybody who bought one hoping it would make passive income as a robotaxi got burned. Musk ventures are like going to a circus; the lions are probably real, the mermaid exhibit isn't, and the "world's strongest man" is certainly strong, but not the world's strongest.
