Elon's using optimistic projections all the time to motivate the company and all other companies working with Tesla as well. The problem is that - as with any project - if the stated goals would be less, the real outcome would decrease as well. Of course weather it's legal to be optimistic or not is an orthogonal question, but it makes sense in leading a business.

- threeseed 8y agoIn business it makes sense to under promise and over deliver. Not the other way around.
- elif 8y agoNo, it is a nuanced issue specific to each business.
- tomp 8y agoMaybe for normal businesses, but overpromising and underdelivering still made SpaceX and Tesla deliver more than any other business.
- Swenrekcah 8y agoNow, I know what you are saying and I’m all for Musk and SpaceX but... it’s a bit funny to think of rocket launches as a buisness where over promising and under delivering makes sense!
- tomp 8y agoYeah it reflects the terrible state of the rest of the industry... I really hope that Tesla and SpaceX weren’t so exceptional, but just two of many...
