I think he would be relieved to get rid of Tesla if someone would buy it. The full self-driving promise was always a matter of interpretation, and the cars they build are more expensive symbols of status than practical products. Tesla can’t compete with global EV manufacturers, that’s a Damocles sword waiting to fall.

SpaceX is where the money is now, and all the electric innovation Tesla did can be used for something else.

There's nothing to interpret. It does not fully drive itself.

@OutlierBlue @TeamAssimilation but it will next year, right? Let's just ignore all those times it's veered into the wrong lane or onto train tracks or whatever, it's fine. Next year, next year, next year.

And Mars in a decade.

Starship was supposed to be doing trips to mars each year by last year. Instead it has sometimes managed to not explode on a suborbital trajectory. But of course regulations are what hold it back...

SpaceX turns the impossible into late

And he wonders why NASA turned him down for bringing those astronauts back...

Musk is getting $8 million each day from the US government to destroy the US government. He was given $44 billion to destroy Twitter. He's not worried about money.
