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.
