musk also promised full self driving cars, and a mars colony by now

Do we even know what he promised to all the women?

A horse, that he wanted to offload anyway as he had a surplus of them from the ranches he purchased to cosplay as a rancher

Stock goes down, elon makes promise he can’t keep to try and make it go up. Rinse and repeat.

Piss off, In 2016 Elon Musk promised full self driving would be ready by the end of 2017.

I cringe when I remember that I parroted the then current expectations on self driving back then.

I believed him too back then, usually if a CEO makes such a statement it's pretty solid. Because they are responsible to for instance stock holders.
How he can make all these false claims and promises, and still be rewarded by stock holder with a $55billion bonus, is a mystery to me, as I see it, he is liable towards both stock holders, and customers who bought stock or a Tesla under false pretenses.

first of many

Humanoid robots exist. They just haven't yet found an application where the existing implementations are more-desirable than alternatives.

An Elon Musk promise is about as valuable as a pocketfull of lint.

If he's going for the Cybertruck look, they will probably come out like this:

Unlike Imperial Storm Troopers, they sometimes hit their target.

Judging by Musk's previous styling choices, may I offer this?
