Re:For Better or Worse, Tesla Bot Is What We Expected by jakobnissen on Sunday October 02, 2022 @04:55AM (#33054206)
At some point, we've got to accept that Elon Musk is either lying, or delusionally optimistic when he talks about his future products.

Whether he's talking about fully self-driving cars, mars expeditions, The Boring Company, Neuralink, Teslas cargo trucks, or now this robot, his promises have been wildly unrealistic.

Whether it's lying or optimism, we should just stop paying attention to what he claims his companies can do, and instead take seriously what they actually do.

> "delusionally optimistic"

Often, this is a necessary aspect of the entrepreneurial mindset. Necessary but not sufficient because the ability to curate ideas, organize resources, execute and deliver are also required.

I think it's definitely a bit of both, which is why he's a fantastic marketer for his products. At this point it's basically defined who he is.

oh yeah, I already forgot. We were promised first lunch to mars by the end of this year. I cannot wait for musk to surely deliver on time yet again \s
