If you think delays in aerospace constitute "lies," you're not going to have a good time following any aerospace company. Unexpected delays are par for the course.

If you think these are mere delays, then I have a bridge to sell to you
In about two years, when these things will be launching hundreds of starlink satellites like clockwork, you’ll just move the goalposts and find something else to criticise.
I’m saying this with confidence because it’s the established history of SpaceX critics. Everything from reusable rockets, space internet, full-flow staged combustion, etc.. has had its naysayers that all shut up and found something new to critique once SpaceX showed it was possible and even profitable.
At this stage you may as well just come out and say “I don’t like Elon”.
I don't like Elon.
I'm not going to look up the original context of Elon's alleged lies, but from what's written here they just sound like long term project goals rather than formal lies (implying things like malicious intent or fraud).
If anything, maybe the only reason he didn't meet those goals is due to his social media addiction.

I’m still waiting for the concert hall with glass ceiling in starship and the restaurants and zero-g games that serve 100 people, shouldn’t they have landed on mars by now? I think it will be more than 2 years before I start moving goalposts
