I think that's social media for you.
Brave predictions (that cost nothing even if your wrong) are glorified before they've even done anything.
There was a story posted on HN about someone who said they thought they'd start a company making laptops and zero indication they would / could do that. The emphasis on empty "predictions" is weird.
- TheAlchemist 1y agoI completely understand brave predictions for a small startup - I believe we (as individuals and as society) should encourage risk taking. But this is a mature company that's part of S&P 500. There are laws, and for very good reasons, that regulates what such companies and their CEOs can say. Somehow, those laws don't apply to Tesla and Musk so far, and they got to touch billions of public money by straight up lying.
