“Musk is out of touch, a plant, or both.”
I think Musk is a scam artist. I went looking for a particular video that documented every time Musk addressed self-driving vehicles. It covered every time he addressed the subject over most of a decade and it was always going to be by some time at the end of the year. When I searched for Musk/scammer I found quite a few videos. I think the world has had the wool pulled over their eyes mostly because they wanted to believe. Here is the link.

Fully agree.
And he's the exact type of person I can't stand. Like Rogan. A person who you know, know exactly what is up. They start looking like, with their large platforms, they are going to be vocal about it. Help move the overton window.
Then, they say or do something that is a complete 180. Like when Rogan said, "we'd be f-ed without the elites"
Musk is exactly the same.
I agree with you about Musk scamming people about self-driving cars.
I remember seeing his mea culpa video, explaining how “people need to understand that real-time collision avoidance” was too hard to achieve. And the way he put it made you think it was other people’s hype that promoted that idea — not his own. Clever and deceitful.
My own take on Musk’s attempted takeover of Twitter is that he foresaw that electric cars are not sufficient for Tesla’s future. And that government funding the electric car pipe dream is going to end rather quickly as reality sets in.
Just a couple days ago we heard from the CEO of Toyota saying electric cars are never going to happen fast.
Tesla is a automated factory business looking for its next winning product. Robots? Who knows. We certainly know that electrically driven unicorns won’t be enough to save Tesla.
