Why do you give Elon any credibility? FEL is not proven at all and is much much riskier than using existing EUV machines. Plus if it breaks all your machines are down until you fix it.

  • You really have to be able to hold both opinions at once about Elon. Yes, Tesla and Spacex are unbelievable companies and perhaps nobody else on earth could have made them happen - so he’s a genius. But also he repeatedly promised autopilot, Tesla Semis, the space data center idiocy, DOGE, one million robotaxis by 2020 - so he’s a shuckster.

    My current headcanon is that he remains an incredible leader and make-things-happen-er, but also that you should just assume all his announcements are complete bs and ignore them.

  • Musk has had very little to do with the actual Success of Tesla and SpaceX and a LOT to do with the recent failures of Tesla, with his constant lies about FSD and the epic failure of the Cybertruck. Tesla hasn't had a new CAR model since 2020! I'm so tired of people mindlessly assuming past "success" is a guarantee of future success in completely different industries and technology. This just proves how little they actually understand how anything works.
