In 30 years when people are going to watch documentaries about Tesla, they will think that people today were all mindboggling stupid because it must have been obvious that selling Full Self Driving that does not drive itself might be a fraud?

It has already started and hopefully will be on full display within months. Also the recent lawsuit finally opened the gates and Tesla will be buried in liabilities. They sold milions of cars that were supposedly becoming a Robotaxi with an OTA update. Oh how times have changed.
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"

Not really. These claims has got him to a trillion dollar company and at this point any fine or suit will just be a drop in the bucket. Not to mention it financed his other ventures that are outside of Tesla and will for sure keep him so wealthy that whatever happens his claims paid off.
