Cybertruck, Robotaxi, FSD ?
We are still waiting for all three many years after Musk promised they were coming soon.
- sidibe 4y agoRoadster, Dojo (this one I remember actually believing he sounded so sure it was a done deal years ago), Semi. 10x is generous given his history , can't believe how many people still find him credible
- zpeti 4y agoYet he’s still beating blue origin, rocket labs, every major car company trying to create electric cars, and a charging network. Promising 10 awesome things and delivering 2 still gives you more awesome things than you started with. At best you are a grumpy old man who isn’t happy with anything, at worst a resentful anti success advocate. What have you created in the last 10 years?
- sidibe 4y agoI like seeing people be successful. With Elon there is always too much celebrating of announcements vs celebrating successes. He's done well selling EVs and Falcon 9 is great. Mostly he lies though so that's what I assume with any forward looking statements
- v0idzer0 4y agoIt’s not lying. It’s being wrong in the timeline for deeply complex technical innovations. This is like me calling my engineers liars every time a task takes longer than expected (which is nearly every time). This whole “predict the exact day humanity will solve its most ambitious technical challenges like self driving cars or you’re a liar” attitude is incredibly toxic
- sidibe 4y agoBeing wrong once on a date 5 years away isn't necessarily lying. Being many years wrong on frequent "by the end of the year" predictions in a way that happens to help you sell products is lying.
- v0idzer0 4y agoHow many times has a simple coding task taken longer that you estimated? I guess you’re a liar too.
