Government range and emissions tests can be gamed. As VW, and Tesla.

The timelines are ridiculously off, and they continue to release underbaked features to their beta testing customers. That's actively dangerous. As for the touchscreens, so much of that speaks to Musk's credibility. He seems to ma

Steve Jobs always did exactly as he said he was going to do. Musk doesn't. Self-driving, solar roofs, Semis, Robotaxis, profitability, buyouts, mars missions -- Musk has made enough false claims to write a book.

Why? What advantage does Crypto offer that the current financial system doesn’t. It feels to me to be inferior in the fact that transactions can’t be taken back, and don’t have a firm legal framework behind it; in terms of cost and latency,
