Rarely delivering? That's just not in line with reality. Tesla has produced over 2 million vehicles, and has produced the best electric car since its inception

Rarely delivering? That's just not in line with reality. Tesla has produced over 2 million vehicles, and has produced the best electric car since its inception over a decade ago. SpaceX has reusable rockets which is an insane feat of engineering. Elon over-promises on deadlines, but he always delivers.

Where is the hyperloop?

  hyperloop was only ever a sketch of an idea and a competition. there are lots of valid criticisms of musk but thats just a cheap shot

      "always delivers" is overstating it by far so fair enough then. I think he has delivered some very valuable things though

  It's coming eventually. Like I said, Elon is bad with deadlines. Sometimes it's hard to provide accurate time estimates for your human-machine interface, AI-powered electric car, and rockets.
