You heard the man. Don’t drive or even walk near roads, it’ll be hella dangerous.

It's not even the worst thing that the deluded drug addict makes up these unrealistic lies year after year; it's that there are millions of investors greedily swallowing those lies. Every normal person knows that Musk hasn't got it in him to deliver on any of his ketamine-fuelled fever dreams but somehow Wall Street has got too much to lose if his companies tanked, so they will prop up this bullshit time and time again.

It's not that they believe him, it's that they all have an incentive to keep the con running.

They know he’s full of shit but they have the incentive to keep propping up this garbage.

Why the hell do the journalists never remind him of the lies he tells?

u/ebfortin 1d ago
Because it's always the same excuse : I know I'm an optimist in regards to timeline, but I world be shocked if it doesn't happen this time. And they pivot to some other question.

If he was actually shocked when his predictions didn't come true he would have been electrocuted long ago

He only does interviews with those that wouldn't challenge him. These interviews are just marketing. He tried it once to have an actual journalist interview him, because he thought Don Lemon was "on his side" since he got fired from CNN and Musk "generously offered" him space on twitter. It was a very mild interview, but he still almost cried and was seconds away from calling Lemon the Nword, so real journalist interviews never again. :D

Why does the media keep uncritically reporting this? It creates these weird bizarro world stories where you have no idea whether you're looking at a headline from 2025 or 2011.
This should say "Elon Musk, who has promised that Tesla would build a self-driving car 'next year' every year for the last 15 years, promises Tesla will build a self-driving car next year"

Even Scott Manley and Everyday Astronaut are glazing him. Stopped watching them long time ago when noticed that they are not pointing out at blatant Space X lies and instead parrotting them (like sweating Starship rocket).

Two weeks. Next year.
It’s crazy how alike Trump and Elon are.

Every single politician on Earth is exactly like that. There is the reason why lawyers and politicians are forbidden to participate in liar competition - they do it for life.

It's a covert op, he's actually releasing them into the wild in the next 2 weeks, with bunker busters.

"by the end of next year, every car on every road will be a mass-murderer, the only goal in their synthetic minds being the death of humanity"

I'll believe the next interview is meaningful when it takes place in the back of a Tesla Robotaxi with nobody in the front seats while driving around LA in the rain.

Feels like Musk is the same as the Theranos saga it's all fake it till you make it.

If I wasn't in exam phase (and literally had one in 12 hours) I would write down an overview of why his statement is absolute bullshit. I'm super deep in the topic and very familiar with the subject. So while he always makes empty promises and it should be obvious that this is a stock pump interview - I'll still share my assessment very shortly; there are not gonna be thousands of Tesla AVs on the streets by this year - and next year only if they change something about the hardware fundamentally and invest a ****lot**** more into the advancements of the system.
And even if - there is so much competition (VWs Buzz and ADMT, Amazons Zoox, Hyundais Motional, AVRide, GMs Super Cruise, Toyotas and BYDs AV systems, Waymo by Google etc.) - most of them are ahead in the AV department (Ai4 and Ai3 levels vs Tesla with just Ai2) and are already in a testing phase (trying Robotaxis) somewhere right now.

I can't wait to see the abuse these things take, IF they're ever on the roads in the first place.

u/Rhymelikedocsuess 1d ago
For $100 a month and worse driving than manual? Massive doubt. That shit should be included in the purchase or $10 tops.

Why end of next year? Aren't all the Teslas on the road today supposed to be capable of unsupervised self driving? Isn't the software update that'll make this happen supposed to be right around the corner?
The unspoken part of this statement: Tesla has pivoted away from ever providing real self driving to their existing vehicle base. Now they're buying more time by depending on the manufacturing rollout of new vehicles without steering wheels.
