      He is, watch the vídeo. Longwinded list of criticism, controversies and red flags in a single event, then back to shilling. “If anyone is gonna deliver, it will be Tesla”, god, it even sounds like an ad read.

      Tesla is faux futurism. They don’t promote an utopia, but a fascist capitalist dystopia. Where tech has made it so you don’t have to talk with poor people anymore. Talk to your robot maid instead, and get shuttled around so you never have to interact out of your class bubble.

        Literally said he will shave his head if they pull of what they claim. Pointedly saying he doesnt believe them, mentions the promoted release and price of the cybertruck against reality. Saying they could be the ones to pull it off isnt ridiculous, they have huge backing and to his credit Musk, as awful as he is, does move fast and break things and sometimes get a win. See spacex yesterday.

          SpaceX wins have nothing to do with Musk. It’s the literal army of engineers doing the work. Tesla’s event was a bunch of dudes in remote controllers showcasing 5 year old technology trying to sell it as future tech. Musk is a con man, all he knows how to do well is sell bullshit. Nothing he has ever promised has ever been delivered. What the engineers that work for him have promised, without the smokes and mirrors of stock trading theater, they have some what delivered.

          This “move fast break stuff” worship is just an excuse to hurt others without consequences and to deflect responsibility. For that matter, SpaceX is forced to deliver without the seagull manager meddling because they’re overwatch by the government. Putting trust in a company even though you know for certain they cannot deliver and are scamming you out of your money is either shilling or insanity.

      After that softball Apple intetview, it confirmed to me he’s just a safe space for tech interviews and reviews (if the price is right). I suspect that he extorts corps for favorable interviews and we can’t really trust him to be truthful.
