I’m not a huge Musk fan, but his shortcoming seems to be more having unreasonable projections about the future. I’m not aware of him lying about things in the present.

> "unreasonable projections about the future"

I've heard a few of them, like concerns about AI which I don't think are unreasonable but I'm curious about what other projections he's had that are unreasonable?

The Cybertruck's supposed to be out by now. Also self-driving.

Ah, okay, yeah in those cases it seems he is overly optimistic, disingenuous, or just really bad at estimating projects. In the case of the Cybertruck there were major engineering issues that came up along with manufacturing issues, apparently it turned into a nightmare, I'm surprised that it actually looks like it may ship in the next few years.

So is Tesla is private now? Funding was not secured. He lied that it was secured. The court just decided his lie did not warrant payment to a class action lawsuit it didn’t determine he did not lie.
