    Civil war is inevitable just like COVID would be over by April 2019 and that humans would set foot on Mars in 2024 (they better hurry up.)

    This website keeps track of all the stupid bullshit Elon has predicted:

      I started reading, got about 10 minutes in before realizing how much there was. Jesus why do people think he is anything other than a hype man

          Way too many. And way too many powerful ones. All they see is dollar signs.

            I mean, they do exist, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a single digit percentage. When he gets invited to speak on things the vibe is more that he’s human clickbait than anything.

      Covid didn’t even start until like October 2019, and didn’t reach America until February 2020.

      The world didn’t even know that word in April 2019.

        Close to Zero New Cases

        [Link]

        • 1,601 days since Elon Musk predicted that Coronoavirus would vanish soon in the US to justify keeping Tesla’s factories open. (3/19/2020)

        “Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April”

        Children Immune

        [Link]

        • 1,601 days since Elon Musk assured parents that children were basically immune to coronavirus. (3/19/2020)

        “Kids are essentially immune, but elderly with existing conditions are vulnerable.”

        Just the Flu

        [Link]

        • 1,649 days since Elon Musk said Coronavirus would be similar to the flu. (1/31/2020)

        “There is considerable conflation of diagnosis & contraction of “corona”. Actual virality is much lower than it would seem. I think this will turn out to be comparable to other forms of influenza.”

      Yeah I feel a bit more optimistic for the future now that this clampit has voiced his shitty wet dream.

        Yeah, I look at it as inevitable but I’m also aware I’m a terminally online weirdo in a lefty echo chamber who should keep his thoughts mostly anonymous.
