Starship is iterating fast and flying in another 5 weeks. Boring company is executing slowly but steadily, the Vegas tunnel is progressing. Unsupervised robotaxis has started in Austin. Optimus started a few years ago only, it is disingenuous to expect it to be available immediately. Neuralink has 18 patients now. Mars is happening, Elon never promised it will be possible this decade.
Your comment makes it seem that Elon's companies have done nothing. I know you are being disingenuous, but I am trying my luck to respond.

- sidcool 8mo agoLol. So a fully self driving car with a following car is not impressive? Elon over promised, no doubt. But don't tell me their tech is not amazing. Pure vision general purpose autonomy. It's going to be a game changer. It could be late but inevitable. Remember when it was supervised FSD? They have come a long way.
- sfblah 8mo agoConsider this: What tech might we have if the entire world economy weren't infested with termites like Musk who lie continuously to pull in investment that could have gone elsewhere?
- sidcool 8mo agoWhat are you talking about? Please read Tesla stats.
- sfblah 8mo agoTesla's high-priced sports cars are the wrong product. The right product is a low-cost car like the BYD cars that aren't legally allowed to be sold in the US. The US has probably already lost the EV war, and Tesla is principally responsible. Everything Musk touches turns to garbage.
- inemesitaffia 8mo agoI'm sure the Midas touch of Ford and GM will fix it.
- sfblah 8mo agoWe can both be correct. I'm not saying he's done nothing. I'm saying he lies, A LOT.
