yeah he over promised on FSD, but still delivered on reusable rockets, and more or less nudged all other manufacturers to producing eletric cars at minimum, a few years earlier than they intended to.
He also exposed twitter's political bias & collusion with US security agencies, and exposed that the company can run with 80% less staff.
- saiya-jin 3y agoThis then is a fine example that past performance is absolutely no indication of future one, despite our emotions screaming at us that its the case. We just don't like uncertainty or lack of trust environment by default, so subconsciously prefer replacing it with more comforting bad truth/lie rather than accepting the other choice.
- cma 3y ago> but still delivered on reusable rockets The Space Shuttle from the 80s was reusable too. Falcon 9 isn't fully reusable (upper stage) and now Starship drops some new ring into the sea. > More or less nudged all other manufacturers to producing eletric cars at minimum Didn't he instead let them delay making electric cars by transacting with them for their ZEV credits? I think the SpaceX stuff is still impressive, but he didn't deliver on his big statements. Dragon was supposed to land on Mars years ago for instance. The Space Shuttle wasn't economical, but Starship went back to lots of elements of its design.
