It's not. I'm asking you seriously why you believe Elon couldn't have faked the demo.

I can see you want to create a firewall between Elon and Tesla but it's ridiculous. He calls the shots. He is famous for calling the shots.

I see no evidence that it was "faked". Tesla and SpaceX both employee world-class engineers who can as far as I'm aware build machines or systems that can do things like this.

What does fake even mean in this context? Why don't you specifically call out the very things you think are fake and explain in detail and with factual evidence why they are fake instead of "Elon could have faked the demo". Someone can just say "Elon couldn't have faked the demo". Both are just asinine opinions, not arguments.

I'm not though. I won't buy a Tesla because of Elon. I dislike him. Telsa still builds cars and SpaceX still sends rockets in to space. No amount of my or your personal distaste for Elon Musk changes the work that engineers who are not Elon Musk do.

If you think that it does, then you prove it. Otherwise, all of my points just continue to stand as they have been.
