Actually, I think Musk is simply tired of EVs. His company knows how to
make them. Some other manufactures are successful at this point. Not
much glamor left. But, talk about FSD, that's another thing.

I don't think you can say "nobody." As a matter of fact, there WERE boycotts
against Ford. I remember reading about some that were promoted by the
magazine American Jew.
How successful they were I don't know, but supposedly Will Rogers once said
"[The Ford boycott] may not be a complete success yet, but it will be as
soon as someone learns how to make a cheaper car."
What's great is that, at least for the moment, Tesla isn't the only EV game
around. You can have an EV without giving Musk your cash.
That might not last, though. Musk seems to be trying to push the other
automakers out of selling EVs in the US. With his buddy in the White House,
he just might succeed.
Wait, didn't Tesla offer to help other EV makers 10 years ago?
Yeah, here it is. Musk in 2014: "Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the
advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of
compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines
behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that
goal."
Money changed his mind, I guess.

Twenty years ago, if you were eating dinner under the unblinking eye
of a video-camera, it was because you were in a supermax prison. Now,
thanks to "luxury surveillance," you can get the same experience in
your middle-class home with your Google, Apple or Amazon "smart"
camera.
