Yet 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 3y 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 3y 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 3y 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.
