If anyone here is a conman, it is Musk - given that he literally had people pay a subscription for something that never materialized, repeatedly promising 'oh it'll be here soon' - that is literally the textbook definition of a conman - 'a person who tricks other people in order to get their money'[0]
Fred is quite literally only known for producing a platform that provides analytics on MMA fighting for the purpose of assisting gambling addicts at making a better gambling prediction, his second venture is writing negative opinion pieces about Tesla and focusing on the character persona that is Elon Musk. The ventures of Elon Musk have quite litreally proven he's a maker, not a conman. He has also won every lawsuit brought against him where half-truths are used in the public eye, but the moment it's in court the whole truth prevails, in almost every case.
He has a lot of enemies, ones he has made on his own, and those that envy what he has accomplished with the people that he has inspired to do the work. He is to some, an easy shortcut to fame because he is constantly putting himself in the public eye and welcoming risks. He has my respect, even with all his delays and set backs, he always seems to deliver eventually and that is not the same as conman with smoke and mirrors behind the curtain.
