How does Musk Keep Making Big Mistakes and getting away with it?

The FSD technology can be leased out to companies around the world

FSD doesn't work. 

It's a marketing scam.

Why would companies want to buy into a nonfunctional product?

I guess I am not a business Jenius. 😄

 

 

Elon Musk has been making optimistic predictions about Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities for nearly a decade. The first time he suggested FSD was "right around the corner" was in 2016, when he claimed that a Tesla would be able to drive cross-country (from LA to New York) without human intervention by the end of 2017.

Since then, Musk has repeatedly predicted that FSD would be "ready next year," but each deadline has been pushed back. Some notable claims:

2016: Predicted a fully autonomous cross-country trip by 2017 (never happened).

2019: Said Tesla would have "one million robotaxis on the road by 2020" (never happened).

2020: Predicted Tesla would achieve Level 5 autonomy by the end of 2021 (still not achieved).

2022-2024: Continued to claim FSD would be "solved soon," but it's still classified as a Level 2 driver-assist system.

So, while Musk has been claiming FSD is imminent since 2016, it remains in development with no clear timeline for true autonomy.

 The general idea is to make money on Tesla Stock.

Ahh, you play the Stonk market. 😆

 

"Stonk" is an internet slang term derived from a misspelling of "stock." It became popular in meme culture and online investing communities, especially during the GameStop (GME) short squeeze of 2021. The term is often used humorously or sarcastically to refer to stock trading, particularly involving meme stocks—stocks that gain value primarily due to internet hype rather than fundamentals.

I don't place much store on your predictions being the truth, or accurate.

 

You seem to forget there are going to be all kinds of regulatory impediments to mixing self-driving cars with people who are driving their own vehicles.

 

You think Tesla rules the world in terms of AI? DeepSeek has already destroyed that myth.

 

Tesla stock is like DJT stock, there's a ridiculous amount of blue sky in it.

 

How do you think Tesla shareholders are reacting to Chinese carmakers eating their lunch? Already they have taken over market share in Europe.

 

I am posting facts. You are posting what you hope will happen.

 

 

Believe what you want.  You didn't understand a word I said. You equate Tesla to DJT stock?  LOL. That tells me everything I need to know. Let's revisit the Tesla stock valuation in a few years.  It probably won't take that long, but that's a good estimate.  I should be buying now, although I already have a bunch. I guess I can't resist the temptation to time the market, and I think stocks may move lower before they move higher because of an impending debt market crisis, although usually, trying to time the market is a fools game.

 Believe it or not, sometimes I actually know a thing or two.  Back in 2020, everyone thought PLTR was a "meme" stock.  Wall Street analysts were falling all over themselves laughing at a $35 valuation. They would tell anyone who would listen that the company was only a "consulting firm."  The only thing those people understand is their spreadsheets. Their problem: they fail to recognize the huge disruptive potential of PLTR.  I did, though. I  knew what it was, and I had no problem whatsoever spending every spare cent I had picking up shares in the $6 to $10 range.  I think I also bought some at prices up to $15.  I knew the stock was going higher, I just didn't know when.  Anyway, I sold some before the end of 2024 (LTCG) just to hedge my bet, although in retrospect, that was a mistake. It's all good at this point, regardless.  Once again, let's revisit this issue in a year or two.  Big $$$$ for anyone who can see the future. 

 

BTW, I still have some Bitcoin I bought at $1100, and a few other long term investments that keep on giving.

The latest anti-Semitism from the Swastikar King, Elon Musk....

 

 

Elon Musk has reposted a tweet suggesting that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong were not responsible for murdering millions of people.

 

The post amplified by Musk to his 219.6 million followers blamed “public sector workers” for the atrocities carried out in the name of some of the most barbarous tyrants in modern history

 

Anyone have any questions about why he's saying this now? 😀

 

IOW, the people at the top who ordered the atrocities aren't to blame for mass murder, it's the low level people carrying out the orders.

 

Got it.

 

Repeat after me...

 

TRUMP AND MUSK ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR THE UPCOMING ATROCITIES ONLY THE LOW LEVEL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES CARRYING OUT THEIR ORDERS 🪚
