This guy is the best clown on earth, he lost all its credibility
He's right actually, and this will happen around the same day the cyber truck becomes the #1 selling truck in the US. /s
July is ending. Ah the “PR” language of free speech saids some lawyers.
Making something available and people actually using it are just really different. Good luck with that.
Bwaaaaahaaaaaa. Snort. Guffaw.
Cybertruck will be the #1 selling truck in the World by the end of the year!
Also in Mars!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, "probably". What a fucking asshole conman.
Ask him to put his money up against this as a bet. I bet it wont.
Bro I’m certain his lawyers are busy with other stuff than PR review lol Edit: At least he pays his bills.
Hypothetically, if he could pull this off and it actually worked, I really wonder how many people would use it. I imagine waking up and I need to leave but my car is still charging and some stranger puked in it. Also they stole my phone charger.
Space cadet needs to lay off the ketamine. 🙄
Well Tesla is getting sue for false advertising in CA regarding “self driving” and I heard their lawyers claim “PR” language as protected speech. Didn’t dig deeper
No one believes him anymore
Ask who? 🍈? He has a metric shit ton of money stacked against it.
And maybe they also stole your shoes and your bicycle so walking and cycling are impossible?
He can’t just lie like that, can he? The CEO o Feb a publicly traded company? I guess if he says “I expect. . . “ that that’s just an opinion. What a load’a horse shit.
LOL
Lmao did they really? Jfc. I’ll take your word for it.
Pooped in my shoes and yes, my bike is stolen. They left the rack at least!
.... how would this work when they are all crashing or burning their passengers? and when no one is buying the cars?
I’m shocked the stock is down only 4% /s
Elon lies "bigly" like his daddy trumpy.
Elmo is a ketamine clown.
Everything is always just around the corner with this guy. Including the Tesla that you just hailed, you better go get it before it gets away.
He must have an earnings call coming up.
Yet his stock keeps climbing. That makes American investors and financial institutions bigger clowns.
Ketamine is hell of a drug.
Even assuming that he could actually make this happen (which we all know he cannot really do so ever without drastic changes to how Tesla approaches autonomous vehicles), what would make this so profitable? How will Tesla ever make money? There are so many competing ride options including Waymo, Uber, Lift, and others (which don’t make tons of money), plus taxis, public transit, etc, all of which do a great job serving transport needs. If this was to be “groundbreaking” and create the revenue they’re hyping, all other ride options would have to cease so Tesla was the only option. That’s not going to happen, so they’re just pumping billions into an over saturated market with low margins. But I guess that means this meme stock will go up 10% on the news.
I confirm some American investors are clowns as well yep
That was on the earnings call that happened yesterday
I read this, and then did exactly this.
Those of us that know a thing or two about manufacturing wrote him off with the "sub-10 micron" email and those that were left went after the "humans don't need lidar to pathfind, why should cars" statement.
"could have a few rough quarters" After Q3, I don't see any improvement in numbers for Tesla in a while.
I will probably being flying by the end of the year so I wont need this stupid car.
Sadly they do. Or at least they don't understand why what he's saying are lies
[removed]
While I'm critical of the hype myself, your comment sparked a thought: Tesla has a unique edge over Waymo and Uber. Setting aside the need for hardware upgrades in older vehicles, Tesla can just sell FSD subscriptions directly to its owners. They don't have to operate a ride-hailing service themselves. Instead, they can market the 'let your Tesla earn money' fantasy, essentially profiting from the idea of passive income—similar to how gyms profit from unused memberships. Of course this does not apply to the robotaxis
Sounds logical and achievable. Therefore, the next compensation package should not be 56 billion, but at least twice as large.
Does he mean parking lots full of unsold Teslas in half the US?
Yes. People don't like the brand anymore. Those who hate Musk will just be like, "nah, I'll take an Uber.".
Ron Burgundy: “I don’t believe you”
Someone should really ask him a direct question about the “regulatory approvals”: which regulations exactly are blocking Tesla “autonomy” at federal and state levels? From the Tesla CA lawsuit just two days ago it was evident Tesla hasn’t even applied for a CA permit for driverless operation. I would not say “regulatory approvals” are the block if one never even applies for an approval.
Didn’t he say at the last earnings call before that, that (again) unsupervised FSD will be available by the end of this year? Now it won’t even be an unsupervised ride hailing service across the entire country?
“*Musk says*” That’s how you know it’s bullshit.
That runs into practical issues though - 'my car is being used 12 hours a day and breaks down all the time and insurance won't cover it. Also, the inside needs vomit and piss cleaning off.' it seems it would be (another) short-lived bubble before reality, and low returns, catches up with it.
Step 1: Claim absurd product release timeline but do not even apply for any regulatory robotaxi permit (CA officials stated that Tesla did not apply for any permit, despite claiming that robotaxis will be roaming in CA next month). Step 2: Blaming authorities for not being able to meet the timeline. Rinse and repeat.
Not "next year" but "end of this year". Is it rebranding?
“You’re doing a great job, Brownie!”
Lol. End of the year. He didnt mention which century that would be in though.
“Expects to” = it won’t happen and it’s not my fault
Subject to regulatory approvals, of course!
>Instead, they can market the 'let your Tesla earn money' fantasy, essentially profiting from the idea of passive income Well no they can't because FSD is not a 'turn your Tesla into a robotaxi' service. It's just assisted driving.
People did the math, they could cover 50% if they handled 20 biggest cities with surrounding areas. That means they would have to cover one new entire city PER WEEK.
Think how dangerous the roads would be if this came to fruition. Millions of autonomous Teslas... It would be carnage out there!
And if you believe that I have bridges to sell
At least taxpayers pay his bills
So 2043, got it
It won’t even be available to half the population of a penis shaped area of Austin by the end of next year.
Let's see if they get half of the population of Austin
This must be an old article. I'm sure I remember hearing about this 10 years ago and surely Musk couldn't be making shit up.
Ask musk to put his money where his fat mouth is.
No one will purchase a Swasticar
But that‘s something that has been Part of the Vision of this. Also I just found this in another post and it‘s seems like elon also Said this yesterday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_predictions_for_autonomous_Tesla_vehicles_by_Elon_Musk
Does he? https://www.fastcompany.com/91124157/spacex-contractors-texas-say-musk-slow-to-pay-bills https://www.torquenews.com/11826/elon-musk-forced-explain-why-tesla-did-not-pay-any-federal-taxes-5-years-despite-making-67 https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/s/MjR0TSdyUI
Maybe in 10,191
I can’t wait for those semis and roadsters to pick me up with automated hailing.
Same day as my Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover hits the news stand!
It’s more than half way through the year, and they are only in a portion of one city. This dude is the king of over promising and under delivering lol
He won’t have it for 1/2 of Austin.
Lemme guess, TSLA is up $50 on this statement?
“You have potential” 🤥👉
Musk has been promising his $30k People's Car for so long the price point has become absurd.
1. Other companies can license Waymo platform (Ford and a Japanese company I forgot are already on discussion) 2. If that happens, people wouldn’t want 20 apps. Actually would be very bullish for Uber. This won’t be a moat. On another note, if this is profitable, why wouldn’t investors just buy a ton of cars and corner the market in any location? Just like taxi services did. Or, even the government with public transportation. Instead of bus stops, just get fleets of vans that drive around similar to accessibility vans that go door to door. I think the personal rental concept is way oversold as the competitive implications aren’t really presented. It’s basically a pitch deck.
I reckon that’s the real deal here. Tesla “buys” the unsold inventory off themselves to use as robotaxis. Blame regulators for inability to rollout nationally. And as if by magic Tesla’s sales look great again.
Musk is a pathological liar
This should be securities fraud.
Against giving it all to charity.
Because he’s not the biggest clown on earth, his investors are the biggest clowns.
But it’s like really emotionally draining to have to think about and do the paperwork. It’s a blocker …. Honest /s
At least the article I read prefaced his comment with “Musk, who has been failing to meet FSD promises for over a decade says…”
All of us to Musk: "We don't care and do not want these rolling deathtraps on our streets."
He says a lot of stuff, all rarely true.
Musk has been accused multiple times for manipulating his companies stock prices.
Yeah ”he expects” was pure comedy.
About as honest as his buddy. Will never work without lidar.
“Available” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
What a scam! Musk admitted yesterday that the low cost model “resembles” the Model Y!!!! Y is ugly. A stripped down Y is uglier! Game over fanbois! Puts will pay handsomely!
Plummet commences today
It's flat over 4 years...?
Obviously no-one believes him. Tesla down $20 (6%+) in pre-trade this morning
I don't believe him.
"...by the end of the year" "Which year?" "Every year."
Elon’s version of 2 weeks.
\>>> by the end of the year Says F'Elon in 2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020,2021,2022,2023,2024
Elon continued, "... as long as half of the US is willing to move or travel to Texas."
I think he means that’s Tesla employees will be able to hail a Waymo.
With the worst clown car on earth.
Brother those of us that know a thing or two about manufacturing wrote him off when he started talking about how they’d completely automate Model 3 production.
Investors need to play back the recordings of the last earnings call. But investors are into the same reality denial game now as fElon.
You know who's never going to use a Tesla robotaxi? The same people who won't buy a Tesla.
He had me at “hardcore engineering”
BWAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAA, ok ELMO!!
Elon Musk says a lot of things.
And still, this will bring lots of news coverage about how bold and innovative this is. Stock pumps on a promise that hasn’t even been delivered in Austin.
Also in Make Believe Land
So when this doesn’t happen, he can blame regulatory interference. Perfect. Run up the stock fan-boys.
Seig hailed
One small caveat: all of Tesla’s autonomous vehicles will have drivers operating them.
Thanks for lighting my day! Musk is hilarious.
Oh so recycling the same lines from 8 years ago at this point.
I feel like "entire" is the operative word there too. It seems plausible they have test runs in Austin and Phoenix by end of year, but whole city of even just those two? I doubt it
Grifters gonna grift
Exactly. Don’t hold your breath
Of all the Tesla brand trucks!
If you can't get regulatory approval under Trump, I kinda doubt you're ever going to get it. Just a way to blame regulators for your vaporware I guess.
The greater fools, even.
INVEST INVEST INVEST
You know he went overboard with this claim when even his biggest fans were saying the math doesn't make sense. They have their own models for tesla world domination and even those models arent that aggresive on robotaxi expansion.
Elon is the new TACO.
Set unrealistic goals in hopes of getting something close. Just the norm for technology companies. Problem is that this situation has moving cars around people.
I can’t wait for full self driving to come at the end of 2014. Gonna be so cool.
End of which year...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahajahahahahahahaha——deeeeep breath——HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
As a human being, I find it utterly impossible to understand how anyone, ANYONE, can lie like that. Zero shame, zero embarrassment, zero fear. How is that possible? Worse are the idiots who are propping up his bullshit at this point. Musk might be a sociopath but what’s their excuse?
"Musk says" = lying.
Best answer
Yes. It’s in the upward trajectory and should be exceeding F150 sales “very soon”, prob by the end of this year and if not then we should be “very close”
As bad or worse than orange?
Why can’t investors see this
Sure Elon has said this and that. But obviously there is no mechanism available for a Tesla owner to start renting his or her car out as a taxi.
Cults make seemingly normal people believe weird, impossible claims.
Wall Street mostly isn't fooled by his shit, they just know they will get their money out faster than the army of retail investors keeping the stock up. If Tesla tanks most institutional investors will be fine while the Robinhood app crashes from overuse and 20 something dudes start to burn shit in the streets.
6. the entire time you're struggling to develop the robotaxi itself, scale the fleet, and become profitable Uber and Lyft have been providing a better ride-hailing experience by just paying people to drive the cars.
Musk says Mars will have full autonomous vehicles by end of next year.
Guy really never stops being a salesman. I respect the continued effort despite his massive wealth and despite my lack of respect for him personally
I assure you that with leaps in AI and proprietary technology, the Tesla cyber truck will sell 1 million units by the end of this year.
>How will Tesla ever make money? There are so many competing ride options including Waymo, Uber, Lift, and others (which don’t make tons of money), plus taxis, public transit, etc, all of which do a great job serving transport needs. Exactly, people like to talk about "Robotaxi vs Waymo" as if the main competition is with other companies developing autonomous vehicles. But you're actually competing with *everything* that can take customers from point A to point B. Outside of "this is cool and futuristic", the most perfect autonomous taxi imaginable isn't going to offer anything to make the ride experience meaningfully different than a smooth human driver that doesn't talk. I think a lot of people will *try it* once or twice because it is objectively neat. But outside of weird techbros it's just going to become yet another option to choose from based on cost and how soon they'll get there to pick you up.
“Musk says” articles aren’t journalism. It’s stenography.
Considering it was priced based on unlimited growth and has shrunk instead, yeah seems manipulated
Tesla Roadster 2.0 will be in customer garages any day now, for reals!
It's starting to sound like church. "Jesus is coming soon!"
Naw - it's all pure Russian money. They have enough cash to prop-up any stupid market they like. Tesla. Gamestop. Bitcoin. Etc. Whatever is in their best interest. Because why on earth would they not????
At what point do his lies become prosecutable for stock manipulation?
I’m going to be handsome, funny and worth billions by year end. Subject to regulatory approval of course.
I completely agree with you, but Tesla is a meme stock not based in the reality that we appreciate and understand. Hopefully one day people wake up and the stock craters like it should have years ago.
I missed that one. I'm sure it was a cracker
Yeah. Habitual liar
Oh that was purely a commentary on the concept of a robotaxi service as a product/business model in general. Absolute best-case it's just another ride hailing option to choose from as far as customers are concerned. It would have to be *way cheaper* to be competitive, and realistically I just don't see the difference being that massive once you factor in the fleet operating costs that Uber/Lyft offload to their drivers, and the inevitable profit taking..
At what point are the false estimates just fraud and stock manipulation?
"subject to" - already gave himself an out.
Over half the US population will drive one by end of year.
Sarcasm tags ruin all sarcasm
Those drugs must be goooooood
Wasn't that after "I know more about manufacturing than probably anyone on the planet"?... Granted I wrote him off long before even that
I bought that line when he and Trump weren't fighting... But I see no reason for Russia to keep money in if it's not helping Trump.
I don’t believe a word that comes out of that guys mouth anymore. Lied or wrong too many times
Well, if you can see no reason why Russia would want to help Elon, I'm not sure there's anything I can say to convince you.
He didn't say they were safe....he said they would be available. 🔥
kkkngxjgk udivmuzl
Sure bro
Greed.
Remember when people earnestly thought this dude would take us to Mars?
I guess I always kind of just ignored him, and only saw the most high profile of his stupidity Edit: as an engineer, I have never once said, in any context, "I know more about {thing} than anyone alive". About anything. Even things that I am a recognised technical authority on. Anyone who *did* say that would rightly be laughed out of any engineering workgroup I've been part of.
Oh god. I forgot about that. Printing code for review. I am a control systems engineer, so while I wrote a lot of code (and ladder logic) it's very different to software dev for the most part. Having said that, I do know that if anyone asked me to print any of my code for review I'd laugh in their face and start looking for another job.
Twitter only has so much reach
Let me help you understand how asterisks work. * = Availability includes any adult living in the greater metro area or travels to those areas. Right now it is in Austin, so it is available to the ~1.5M people that live there and anyone that travels there. If AUS gets 500,000 visitors a year, they have 2M people that it is “available” to. Because you have to be over 18 to use any ride share service, you cut the total market down even further. All he need is one robotaxi in a metro area and the claim would stand.
Yeah, those satellites they use to coordinate drone movement are totally not interesting to the Russian military. Twitter. Lord help us.
It's was going to all crash down before the election, that is why he helped Drump, they both needed to save themselves from prison
Or they want others to believe them (or consider them exaggerations, not lies) So many of them say he's always right just on Elon time (because he *has* accomplished some things but they were primarily doing things that others couldn't afford to do, such as the way he relies heavily on government subsidies and fundraising rounds)
Enuf said. That’s what drives trump amd musk and bezos and their ilk. Like it’s never enuf
"Subject to regulatory approvals....." Code for ...... easy excuse to protect my lie . .
No way even Musk is buying that bullshit.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A decade of snake oil and people still buy it.
I'd say the guy in the White House would give him a run for biggest clown. At least Elon's not a pedophile.
By the end of the year… this guy keeps delivering every year 😂
if i took a shot every time i heard Musk say "subject to regulatory approval" i'd need a liver transplant
Almost went bankrupt with that one.
He's just bullshitting again because he knows his simps will dump money in, as usual and he'll have an out when it doesn't happen; there's no way he's getting regulation after the shit he's pulled with Trump
I watched a video recently where someone clipped together Musk saying “we’ll be ready for autonomous driving by the end of the year” for over a decade. At this point it’s his annual affirmation and little else.
Subject to regulatory approvals. California is fighting to disallow his vehicles to be sold in that state. At least he left himself on out.
And if you believe that I have a bridge for you
Musk is so full of it. This isn’t going to save Tesla from backsliding. How does he think that robotaxi is a win in a saturated ride share market. Waymo seems to have the advantage at this point and uber isn’t going anywhere either. when only about half of Tesla owners have ever paid to use FSD I don’t see that many people willing to give up their personal car to use a service like robotaxi on a regular basis. We as a country would be way better off financially investing in public transportation and walkable communities than more car centric infrastructure with fewer cars footing the bill for road repairs if a ride share boom did occur.
Stock market loves clowns
The fan-boys will eat this.
Ketamine is one Hell of a drug!
Ha ha haa hahahahahha
It’s part of the S&P500. There will be constant purchases for it by this alone due etf balancing. He also knows what to say to keep far too many people as believers- either actually believing him or fearing to miss out on the run. I’ve missed too many runs because I don’t believe in the blind FOMO so many people have. Don’t forget- the 10+% drop in the U.S. dollar has also falsely inflated the value of the stock market.
It must be a Musk is kissing Trump's ass again week...
hahahahahahahahajahahahahaha
Just saying random shit for the pump
Musk fatigue is so real 🤮
How many silly predictions has this man made over the years?
What level of educational attainment (or just common sense) does one need to be an investor?
And he said “subject to regulatory approvals” so he’s already got his excuse worked out.
Who says he's not a pedophile?
Don't know what'll happen with the DMV case, but one person won their small claims suit against him in Sacramento County this year for failing to deliver promised full self driving. Tesla paid including interest. Not in the news, but look it up. You'll find it.
Ya, he also settle for the 2018 case in the bay area where Tesla car veer into the middle of the freeway divider killing an Apple employee. https://abc7news.com/post/lawsuit-filed-in-deadly-fiery-tesla-crash-in-mountain-view/5278752/
Right, Elon. And we’ll all have robot butlers on Mars
What? Machines at the production line moving so fast that you need strobe lights to see them and air resistance aren't the two biggest issues in car manufacturing? Yes. Those are real things. The grifting got really weird at one point.
The amount of bullshit that comes out of his mouth while his cars get lost in parking lots
Oh shit, they plan on killing 99% of us by the end of the year.
Ketamine is one hell of a drug.
subject to pigs flying.
The big biggest question......you wanna get picked up in one of those? E-bike to train station for me. I am so grossed out, creeped out......... by an Elon robot in my home. YUK I do love the CT look. The price was a NOGO. The colored wraps are so sweet. But again.....do I want Elmo anywhere near me and my Family? Hard NO The F150 Lightning was my vehicle of choice when I plopped down $100 deposit. BUT, the price I thought I would pay.....$50k after $7,500 FITC and $2,250 Connecticut rebate turned to $70k. A bridge too far. Then I thought......wouldn't it be great to kill everyone in USA who isn't blonde haired and blue eyed? That worked out pretty well for the last guy! Then I thought.....hmmmmm.....my 2 daughters 27 and 30 y/o would love to create little Elmos......who needs: Family, love, kindness. Why would anyone want love? Marriage? DIgnity? My girls woulda been soooo much better off with no Dad and accusing Mom of being a whore slut Gold digger.......no grandparents? right on you stupid drug addicted hate lover.
