They cite SpaceX securing key funding despite timeline delays.
and yes in some ways he's a grifter as he keeps overpromising and underdelivering
but small progress accumulates and is better than no progress
so I'm very happy that SpaceX got the funding it needs
I think Elon becoming the world's first trillionaire was extremely obvious even 5+ years ago
he's just doing what needs to be done. he's shaping the future like no one else.
Positive users defend Elon Musk as a visionary with strong progress on FSD and Mars, while negative users criticize repeated overpromises and mock the trillionaire timeline as unrealistic.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.
@Austen Politicians just want the monopoly on power and want infinite grift
They hate wealth creation that erodes their monopoly
@scaling01 Also, we need Grok to be among the frontier models. Models with different pholosophies are needed
@scaling01 only thing he over promised on was prolly the hyperloop, almost everything else is still on track, FSD is extremely close to being solved and Mars colony is 100% happening because Starship is also almost a finished product
@scaling01 he generally gets spared cause usually no serious company is operating at large scale in his companies’ sectors, except for xAI where he got destroyed
@wencryptomoon I’m in there!
@ns123abc never bet against Elon (at least in business)
@ns123abc You should get at least 20 billion for this
@Austen Austen can you come to the Kelly TG? Thank you sir!
@avgrocketman he promised FSD every year for the next years since 2016
he also made countless overpromises for SpaceX, like Mars 2019 or something like that lol
hyperloop and boring company was just silly
@Gana_L_ I would like to see more competition
@Austen Accurate. The left’s hatred and envy of Elon is just getting started.
@scaling01 Dont have to marry the guy. Could talk a lot of shit but things arent onesided.
I want spacex to win
@scaling01 the optimal amount of grifting is not zero
@scaling01 Hyper ambitious publicly stated timelines are part of his technique to motivate his team and himself.
@scaling01 As he said at the bell, he wants to give people something to be excited about, sometimes excitement doesn't align with realistic timelines.
He does occasionally remember to say 'aspirational'.
@ns123abc Based..
@scaling01 Better to be optimistic and being wrong than pessimistic and being right.
@ns123abc he'll hit $5T before 2030
@ns123abc Based
