> But Musk bought Twitter.
The bill was introduced in mid-February and was presumably drafted over the preceding months. Musk made his very first Tweet about buying Twitter in mid-April. Not sure what connection you're trying to make here.
The likely chose the FSD branding with good intentions. Tesla just had some over-optimistic projections of what it will be in the near future and they weren't the only ones being optimistic in 2015-2016 when it launched (you can find plenty of Youtube interviews from other car companies at the time projecting <=2025).
The plan was to always call it in "beta" and an early ~$2-10k(?) investment for the future offering that wasn't yet ready.
The only problem is when those projections turned out to be heavily optimistic after ~2-3yrs in they should have rebranded it... but chose to stick with it for whatever reason.
Another, which I find more likely when there's lots of money involved, is that there was deception to feed the hype machine which caused profits of millions.
