    This is why I make the characterization that Musk is not an engineer or product guy. Only a really good snake oil salesman and finance guy. He’s in the position he’s in because of false promises and financial moves.

    You can preemptively add “AI Datacenters in space”, because that idea only shows that he has a very limited knowledge basis regarding physics in general and the limited ways of getting rid of heat when there’s no medium to absorb it. He probably still thinks “Space is cold”.

    Full self driving in 2016, 2018, +++++

    He said “we are making them now” when he announced his semi truck in 2017

    And most recently he has said by the end of this year grok will be able to make a full story accurate movie, and specifically referenced The odessey

      I want to see that nightmare fuel shit of a movie somewhat, and see how much it costs to generate 3 hours of movie in terms of energy and hardware depreciation. it would really demonstrate how far we are away from AI that is more than a plaything outside of a few special cases.

      Yeah, he said (in 2016) that SpaceX would put people on Mars by 2025.

      Hyperloop was never physically possible

      Dumb gullible politicians believed him

      Afaik it was some trick to prevent a high speed rail way to be constructed, or something like that

        Pretty much, yes. It was a stunt to siphon away money and political will from a high speed interurban rail.

      I know this was from the autonomous Tesla predictions list, but this quote from August 2022 doesn’t age well either:

      The two technologies I am focused on, trying to ideally get done before the end of the year, are getting our Starship into orbit
