Elon Musk says something absolutely insane on the weekly. Almost none of it actually happens.

  That’s just nonsense, of course. Almost everything he says happens. It rarely happens on time.

    A few of the things he says will happen, happen. Many of them happen late. Most of what he says will happen never happens, but people point to the few things that did happen, but were late, and say, "This too will happen."

    Almost everything he says happens? Thats pretty far from the truth. Isn't Tesla still embroiled in a legal tussle over "full self drive"? What about the $30k model 3? What about the $200/kg to space? He has very little connection to the truth. He's a hypeman and a conman

      There are driverless Teslas roaming Texas giving rides _right now_. It happened. It was late, and there will be some fallout for HW3 compatibility with unsupervised FSD, but it happened.

        Is that actually true? I know they announced it, but I also saw stories that no one seems to be able to actually find one of these...

        No there aren't actually. Seems like they did it once or twice with a chase vehicle. https://electrek.co/2026/01/28/teslas-unsupervised-robotaxis-vanish/ https://electrek.co/2026/01/28/teslas-unsupervised-robotaxis...

    On a scale of “happens” on one end to “doesn’t happen” on the other, he has a few “happens” that Elon fans will try and anchor against the weight of the enormous load down at the “doesn’t happen” end.

If the can walk and randomly fire teargas and bullets into crowds of protesters they could replace half of ICE right now.
- sawjet 8mo ago
  This would only replace a small fraction of ICE, and only in states that don't cooperate with federal law enforcement officers.

    only in states that don't cooperate with federal law enforcement officers Courts have consistently ruled that state and local jurisdictions are not legally required to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
