Elon already stopped talking about the robotaxi and is now onto the Optimus bot, which should buy him at least another year or two of swindling investors.

  It's a long term R&D project that's been going on for a decade. HN: No one does R&D anymore. So sad. Elon R&D: autopilot didn't work out, so everything Elon is involved in is a scam and never works. Go ahead and dislike the guy, but nobody on the planet has his track record of success and think big. And he's succeeded over and over and over and over again. Frankly I don't know anyone as successful in modern times. Note that his success does not mean I like him, or not. It is simple reality, data.

    No doubt, but his ability to deliver has totally faltered. He also built himself as an ideologue, which has/will greatly impact the ability to attract and retain talent. At the end of the day, Elon is still relying on smart people to execute these projects. Elon is looking a lot like the amazing artist who had a golden era of great works, and now is killing himself trying to fake his way back to his former self.
