Musk’s robotaxi gamble “looks like it paid off,” one user says

A user revisits remarks attributed to Elon Musk in Walter Isaacson’s biography, including his 2022 insistence on a robotaxi without mirrors, pedals or a steering wheel. In the quoted passage, Musk takes responsibility for the decision: “We’re going to take that risk.” Writing on September 7, 2026, the user says that four years later, the bet “looks like it paid off.”
