There's a difference between someone that promises the world and never delivers and someone that promises the world and occasionally delivers.

There's a difference between someone that promises the world and never delivers and someone that promises the world and occasionally delivers.

- bobsmooth 4y agoIn the latter case, there is precedent. Elon promised to revolutionize space travel, he's done so. He promised to revolutionize electric cars, he's done so. He promised to revolutionize intercity traffic, that didn't pan out. Clearly you can see the difference between him and someone that's never delivered on what they promised.

- wpietri 4y agoI don't think I said there wasn't a difference. There are always differences. But I do stand by my point that you can't put much stock in Musk's claims. Which, now that people are becoming more aware of it, makes him less and less likely to deliver anything major again. As an example, take a look at his failed purchase of Twitter. He wasted a ton of his time and caused a lot of damage to Twitter, its employees, and his own reputation. You can bet that any future business partners, even the ones willing to ignore his behavior on Twitter, are going to take it as a cautionary tale.
