If the guy can make a fully self-driving car, he can make a fully self-moderating social network.

He'll either be the GOAT or the goat, but the gamble is clearly on the table, and Musk being Mush will declare victory before the dice even start to roll.

He hasn’t made a fully self driving car. Not even close.

I think you missed the point. He is saying that Musk will either do these things or fail spectacularly.

He hasn't made a self driving car, but I think this applies here:

If the guy can blow enough hot air about self driving cars to make people buy the hype, he might be able to blow enough hot air about a self-moderating social network to make people buy the hype.

Unfortunately, eventually you need more than hype before the public and regulators come for you because you haven’t delivered.

And musk hasn’t delivered.
