I stumbled over this today. Apparently it was inspired by listening to his most recent analyst earnings call.

That's pretty unfair.

Elizabeth Holmes straight up lied about a product that couldn't possibly do what she claimed, and intentionally kept lying about it.

Elon Musk lied about so many products I can't event count them all.

Easy. He classifies his lies by his company:

  • Tesla: FSD, Cybertruck, Semi, Optimus and the spandex dancing man, solar shingles, solar farm, thermonuclear explosion proof glass, bullet proof chassis, battery-swap, range under full charge, share value, etc
  • Boring Company: Hyperloop, Not a flamethrower, Vegas loop, pods, tunnel bricks, etc
  • SpaceX: Martian colony, surface to surface starship, in-orbit refueling (to get to moon), in-situ methane production on Mars, etc
  • Neuralink: Telepathy, Brain backup
  • Twitter: Free speech
  • Musk himself: His net worth, The man who knows more about manufacturing than anyone else alive

That's quite a good list you've got going there already. Did you do that from memory?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Yes, it's from memory. But don't congratulate me yet. My guess is that it is just one third of Musk's most egregious lies.

I don't know how up-to-date this is, but it's amazing.

I meant to reply to you yesterday, but I forgot. Your link was amazing, thanks for posting.

I had to stop reading after a while though because I was getting too fucking depressed that so many morons keep willingly giving this chuckle-fuck their money even though all of the available evidence points to him being a pedantic child and pathological liar who's companies exist in spite of him rather than because of him.
