I believe launching the Robotaxi is his biggest mistake. He could have continued the grift for some time, but now there is an official service and the clock is ticking.

2 months in, it's still not open to the public, there is a safety driver in the car, and even the influencers notice that something is very fishy as there are still only ~10 cars in the fleet and they are not all available at the same time.

But yeah, once the house of cards collapse it will be pretty fun. "Hey, how anybody believed they actually have real world Robotaxis if the launch party was on a movie set with remotely operated cars ?". "10 straight years of FSD by the end of the year". "Robotaxi with a safety driver"
