What about Sun King? Dig It? Don't Bother Me? Boys? Flying? (all terrible Beatles songs)

When you have successes like Tesla and SpaceX and PayPal it doesn't really matter how many failures you have. This isn't like being an airline pilot where you're judged by your worst outing.

"it doesn't really matter how many failures you have"

The thing is that they are just honest failures, they are just outright lies.

You want to make the accusation that the business failures of someone who has had legitimate successes on the scale of Elon Musk are con jobs then the burden of proof is on you. And I don't see an proof. Not from you, and not from anyone else who says it.

Hyperloop is very much a con job. "Full Self Driving is just a year away" is very much a con job. The cybertruck is a con job. The Tesla Semi is a con job. The tesla robot is a con job.

- I can beat Vias and MasterCard at their own game.

- Electric cars only will build a more valuable company.

- I can launch more rockets then everyone else combined.

Were also lies at the time.

This is absolutely despicable. There is no way Musk doesn't know that what he posted is a lie.

It matters if you care about evaluating whether or not you should believe what Elon says.

Do I believe him when he says "Teslas will be full self driving in six months" like he has for the last 10 years? No. He's definitely a PT Barnumesque figure.

Do I believe that Tesla will get to full self driving eventually? Yes.
