Well its Elon Musk bullshit, not really useful content. The guy is neither scientist nor inventor, so nothing he says here even has grounds to be correct, never mind believable.
Wait, but I thought he sent a Dragon capsule to mars by 2018? Or two Starships by 2022. Or passenger rockets between London and New York
Didn't those things happen? But surely my Tesla will drive itself across the country at the push of a button right? And if not, I can use a special tunnel, or a vaccuum train to get around, right?
Well, at least the solar roofs are helping safe the world with their amazing production. And soon well have have human robots!
Or were those things also not true?
How about launching rockets privately at a fraction of a cost from what the states were launching?
How about affordable EVs? And proving to automakers that EVs can sell so now everybody's doing it?
And many more...
But yeah, it's easier to pick and choose just to be on the trend.
He's done none of those things. He's just posted the money.
