I didn't expect Musk's defenders to offer up a defense whose cornerstone is that his judgment is so poor and his knowledge so weak that it is foolish to trust even short-term predictions about his own products.
- natch 6y agoIt’s not exactly how you’re reading it, but you could say bleeding edge is how he operates. When there is a 51% chance of success, he goes for it. We’re talking in the lab. For consumer products, the standards are different. A lot of his statements are about the lab versions.

But I also understand that he has a large army of people who, for reasons I will never understand, spend their spare time lying and bullshitting on his behalf. So, congratulations on providing free labor for a billionaire. You definitely aren't a stooge.
