        At some point these claims should be used in court as a fraud. You cannot just keep promising stuff and not deliver, it is by definition a fraud. He is not above the law.

        Careful, there are many Musk fanboys on Lemmy who get their panties twisted if you start attacking their idol.

        But yes, he makes lots of claims, most, at minimum, are pure bullshit. Anyone remember the Boring company? Apparently they’re still in business…somehow.

        And is how big a fiasco?

        It’s like the Homer Simpson car made real.

    Oh, I didn’t realize it was Make Insane Proclamations Day. In that case, I could become the richest person in the world if everyone else would just give me $1000.

    I must say, that person who dressed up as a robot for their presentation had some pretty sweet moves, but I wouldn’t say those moves are worth $25 trillion.

    • Tbf this kind of thing happens constantly with big corporations. Apple just held an anouncement event where they basically said that their operating systems will have chatgpt integration and suddenly they’re the worlds most valuable company again

      • There’s a difference between software release windows, and “iOS 19 is going to be a fully conscious AI being named Siri, and will work on all your existing iOS devices, and your phone will be rentable as a second employable being that could earn you passive income or even work your job for you!”

        Elon’s lies are a magnitude removed from the simple announcements other companies know.

    Elon Musk said the company’s jump into humanoid robots could lift its market cap by almost 50-fold.

      Hey he’s not exactly wrong. The company who can release humanoid automatons would very likely be the richest company in the world. Exponentially richer.

      But I’ve seen what comes out of Tesla. I’m not betting that will be the company that does it.

    I’m not sure that he’s wrong about this, but it’s a pretty unrealistic goal
