There’s a Very Simple Pattern to Elon Musk’s Broken Promises

“My predictions about Musk admitted to investors in 2023: “Achieving self -driving in the past was optimistic in the past.

In calling Tesla’s profits with investors in late April, according to what Elon Musk seemed affected because he had to admit a 71 percent decline in profits. On the defense, it seems that it revolves around the positive circulation between the terrible results, Musk promised something unreasonable: the auto company will become the leading robot company in the world, which includes “the closest thing to heaven we can get on the ground.” (This has multiplied since then, saying that the demand for his robots would be not indicated, and earlier this month, he claimed that the robots would do tens of billions and be like “your personal C-3PO or R2-D2, but even better.”

On the call, although sales around the world for his traumatic company cars and a falling demand on Cyberrtruck, Musk stressed that “the future of Tesla is brighter than ever.” He got rid of the falling decline in sales as just “opposite winds”, and urged investors to ignore the car’s non -self -car and evaluate the “company’s value” to “provide a sustainable abundance with our reasonable acting robots.”

However, although Musk has a long history of broken promises, investors seemed soothing through market breaking tales on Tesla, not like a car company today, but as Robotics Beheemoth Musk claims that it will be soon.

WAID examined the history of Musk pledges on everything starting with full self -driving, hyperactivity, robotte, and yes, robot armies, with the aim of reminding ourselves, its fans and investors how the reality rarely identical in the world of ELON with the discourse. On the one hand, MUSK forecast for “next year” appears over and over again, just to be constantly wrong.

“My predictions have a very good record,” Musk told Tesla employees at a meeting of all hand in March. Here is a time look at this busy record.

19 years of broken promises

August 2006: Wrong Beginning

“[Our] “The long -term plan is to build a wide range of models, including reasonable prices,” said Elon Musk in the Tesla Secret Master plan.

In the main plan, the Deux part, written 10 years after the first plan, MUSK reported that although Tesla has not yet been delivered on the 2006 promise, it is still planning to build a “high -cost car”. He came in 2016 and went without a car for beginners. In January this year, Musk said that – then – Tesla will start producing the reasonable model in the second half of 2025.

However, in April, Reuters reported that Tesla canceled plans for the cheap family car. Musk posted on X that “Reuters is lying (again)”, which sparked Reuters’ response that “”[Musk] He did not specify any specific errors. “Source of Tesla Reuters told that instead of the cheap family car that has been introduced long ago,” Eleon’s direction is to go to robotics. “

August 2013: Hyperloop Hype

Although he did not own any Hyperloop companies directly, in a 58 -page white paper entitled “Hyperlooop Alpha”, Musk wrote about “a new open source of transportation that can cause a revolution in travel.” He did not. Hyperloop was closed in 2023, 10 years after his proposal for the first time – but even in late 2022, Musk was still a promise that Hyperloop would move from Boston to New York City “in less than half an hour.”

A form of magnetic capsule (Maglev) has been described in an improvement of air -on -air steel tube, on the company’s website as “a high -speed public transport system where travelers travel in independent electric centuries in 600 miles per hour.” This description has been removed since then, but is documented by Electrek. Engineers from Tesla and Spacex worked on Hyperloop for two years before the project was operated by other companies in 2017.
