I’m not actually convinced Elon ever thought they’d achieve L4/L5 autonomy in the timelines he originally proposed. I think it was all a ploy to pump the stock and sell more cars. And it worked.

I wonder why a CEO lying to pump his stock is not yet illegal. Otherwise what's topping Sundar to come out and say "Google will have AGI in 6 months, buy Alphabet stonks wink-wink".

I know, because a couple of my friends put all their saving in TSLA stocks during the pandemic. And all it cost Elon was his credibility and being exposed as a clueless liar to the point if he'd say the sky is blue, I'd double check.
