But you’re ignoring that millions of people that are already getting wealthy from renting their unused autonomous self-driving cars out as taxis. 😂

"Like the Apollo astronauts before them, these individuals will travel into space carrying the hopes and dreams of all humankind, driven by the universal human spirit of exploration." - 1/2017 SpaceX announcement of manned flight around moon in 2nd quarter of 2018

has been for years tbh. When Tesla stock jumped 20% after his October earnings call last year where he shamelessly lied his ass off I knew we were fucked.

And we as readers and listeners need to call and write to complain about this

SEX ROBOTS ON MARS!!!

They might as well be credulously "reporting" on every crazy Alex Jones conspiracy that never comes true.

The ship will be carrying Optimus, Tesla's humanoid robot, together with 4 ambitious college students who will prop it up.

Elon is L. Ron Hubbard combined with an Apocalyptic Radio Preacher with an exact date combined with some dork catfishing on AOL IM in 2001.

it’s like Donalds “Health Care Plan in Two Weeks”

Muskrat is a delusional sack of shit❗️

The full self driving predictions have an even more hilariously long legacy of hype man lies.

Remember when we were all going to be blasting through tubes at 800 miles per hour by 2023? https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1086204_elon-musk-reveals-details-on-800-mph-hyperloop

At cheaper prices to build than high speed rail, too!!!

But sir, he did build tunnels in Las Vegas to inefficiently move people via a few Teslas!

Even the concept behind these seemed like a bad idea to me. I was relieved when it turned into EVs driving fairly slowly through a short tunnel, because at least that's safe in theory.

Many folks have forgotten about the miraculous solar tiles too, which evaporated into thin air.

jrtonca.bsky.social•4 days ago

Solar City's where Elon lost me. I was fully on the Musk train when it was announced, and as time went by and it became clear that nothing was going to come of it, I started seeing the pattern of all talk, no results elsewhere.

stribs.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yep. I was very excited about the project and thought Musk erratic already but the complete breadth of his incompetence, grift and bigotry lay ahead. For me anyway. Not that there weren’t always signs.

If you believe his shit I got a hyperloop to sell you in Vegas

Like a week ago they filed for a transit permit in California and the media took it as a sign that robotaxis were right around the corner and not as a sign that they desperately needed some way to turn the stock around and filing a couple forms was a pretty cheap possibility

Maybe he should start with a prediction for when the side panels of Cybertrucks will stop peeling off with minimal pressure, and then go from there.

Exactly. The guy stood in the Oval Office and told a group of journalists that “some of the things I say will be incorrect”, SpaceX blowing up every other day, but yet journalists are going to sanewash this MF along with Trump.

odin1963.bsky.social•3 days ago

We could still have humans on Mars by next year. Trump & Musk could fly off together; now whether they'll reach the red planet ALIVE is anyone's guess... but at least there WOULD BE humans there. I'd donate starter spuds for their flight.
