I very often notice how Musk will write or tweet in an ambiguous enough way that most people will read different messages out of him.
My own speculation is that he does this intentionally not to lie, but to catch people out with "gotchas". It's a hedge against both failure and success.
I caution against over-interpreting anything he says until the details are made very specific.
An aside for example, one time I told a customer "I'll see what I can do" - what they heard though was closer to "ok I'll sort it out for you", and weren't too pleased when later on we weren't able to resolve it in time for them.
